I believe peace comes from living with integrity in the moment. Integrity is your guide and the present moment is where it operates.
By definition, integrity is the quality of being honest, humble, and moral. If you look at integrity, you see it doesn’t have a past or a future it only exists in the present. Let me explain. The second you display honesty…it turns into truth. The second you display humility…it turns into kindness or grace. When expressed, integrity becomes the right action at the right time. Kinda cool…right? Here is an old cliche that sums it up.
If you are depressed, you are living in the past.
If you are stressed, you are living in the future.
If you are at peace, you are living in the present.
If you find yourself stressed, down, or out of sorts. Ask yourself two questions.
Am I present?
How is my integrity?
You can choose to be present and let integrity be your guide.
If you don’t like where you’re living…MOVE.
The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
Proverbs 11:3 KJV
