INTEGRITY MONTH: DAY 29:

“Do not gossip

or slander,

rid yourself of jealousy

and self-importance.

Let insincerity

drop

away.

Some have lied

and cheated

to get where they’ve got,

but that will not

be you.” ― Ashley Asti

I am not great at any of this. A process of ridding myself of these traits. I strive to be this person. It is the goal and the journey I am on.

I invite the people in my life to let me know when I stray from this model. I am better every day. There are so many examples of how this can work in my life. I am grateful for these examples. It is great teaching to strive towards, as I see it. I want to be that kind of person who does not need to compare or illustrate myself on the backdrop of others. Even when they inform me in these areas, I want to let that be outside the way I operate. Not there yet, but I can work to this end…and I do. Beautifully written, I think.
