Living with Integrity

I have been thinking about integrity a lot lately. 

I have witness people lie to my face or pretend to be someone they are not. They are living lies. Lying to others and themselves.

 This saddens me.

 It saddens me to think that people think they have to lie or manipulate others in an attempt to be liked, accepted, etc. 

It's sad to think that people are willing to do things that are ethically wrong because no one is watching or, worse, because everyone else is participating in the act. 

I don't get it. 

I guess I was just not raised that way. 

I am the same person in public as I am in private. 

My motives are pure and I live with truth and integrity

 I sleep well at night because I have stayed true to my morals and myself. 

Each day, Every moment, every choice. 

I strive to do the righteous thing. 

I choose to do the right thing despite what is popular, cool, or the norm. 

I choose to the right thing even if it's not fun, even if it's boring, or if it's hard. 

It's how I live my life. True to myself. I live with integrity.
