Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.

That being said, I'm still working on figuring out my own stance on everything. It's still a rolling target too. Things I think I believe yesterday don't seem to hold the same weight today. I really have a tendency to try and make others happy more often than not. That's been the topic for my focus lately. It's time for that mentality to take a walk. I'll still do all the small things that I believe some of you appreciate. But I'm going to call you out on the bullshit. I'm going to do what I want, even if you disagree. I'm going to live my life from this point forward with a level of personal integrity that I can be happy with. It may never match what your level is. It's a rolling target. I'm OK with that. But I'm stepping my game up on an almost daily basis. I've yet to see you even try. In fact, I think some of you are falling back again. Normally I'd be right there to pick you up and carry you with me. Not really feeling that anymore. I told you all this was going to be a big year for me. I kept thinking that you'd all be here with me at the end, but it's not looking so good for some of you now. And while that may go completely against my first instinct, I'm not going to wait around. I may look back from time to time though and remember the good and bad stuff. And if you want help, just ask. I'll help you get moving forward however I can. But you have to take the initiative for a change.
