Beyond the Spotlight

Beyond the Spotlight: The character test

Developing authenticity in the inner self is the process of self-realization and embracing one’s identity. It is about inherent being or essence as well as about values and after all it is about living. Authenticity is not about having the perfect inside and out. It became my understanding that only if a man is thoroughly honest to himself then he can be as honest to everybody else.

Integrity is a core value of the relationships that we establish with other people in society. However, there is so much more to the concept of honesty, which means telling the truth. It is all about the positive relationship between intentions, a statement or a written word and the action plan.

Integrity, on the other hand, refers to the purity of an individual’s principles or values that he or she follows. These ones whether individual, occupational, or societal play the role of a beacon that directs our choice and personality. 

It is an integration of human conduct and speech with ideas that can be regarded as a specific set of values possessed by people. It’s about maintaining and upholding these values regardless of the chance or desire to fall for the tempting offers. 

Integrity in a person means that such an individual can be trusted and his actions will not depend on the circumstances. 

They walk the talk in a manner that would make them not compromise their ways, even if they are not observed.

Having integrity, Telling the truth when it would be more convenient to tell a lie, taking into account everyone’s interest and equity, and showing respect to those you do not accept. Accepting responsibility for the decisions that one makes or makes on behalf of the larger group and the outcomes that result from such decisions. 

They tell a story about your character, your personal standard, and a sense of what is right and wrong, right and wrong will not change with the company’s culture.

Telling the truth Applying justice because everyone has a right to that and respecting people’s rights even if we do not share the same ideas. The responsibility that is taken for the decisions that are made and the outcome of such decisions. It is about honesty, a feature that helps to make decisions without considering other people’s opinions or presence.

The Power of Intrinsic Morality: Picking the right path because of the self-fulfilling joy and not for mace or recognition as a result strengthens your self-esteem. Effectively, it strengthens an individual’s predisposed notion that he or she is a good person based on his or her own standards.

Building Trust and Respect: Praise ethical behaviour that was observed internally as it strengthens the trust of subordinates to you. It shows that you are an individual that can be depended on and this is irrespective of the circumstances of the situation.

The Challenge of Temptation: The big challenge is when they call for doing right in rods. Choosing not to take a shortcut or be greedy at a time when you do not want to be seen by other people is also beneficial in terms of moral fibre.

Habit and Character: The more often they make the right choice more often they will be able to make the right decision even in the minor options. They both want ethical behaviour to become part of one’s personality and character in the long run.

’’A Way of Living: Basil of Caesarea on Integrity’’.

Integrity is not something one can flaunt; it is a principle that has to be practised. And it is a process in which one has to learn to live an authentic and ethical life ceaselessly. 

That is the strength that makes one able to hold his or her head high knowing that the course that has been taken is right and upright. As much as honesty is, it is not always about making big impressive statements. It is about the decisions that we make in our lives on a day-to-day basis. 

Thus, through seeking intent, verbal communication, and nonverbal communication, they merely be trusted, respect themselves and others, improve relationships and create a more positive environment in and around us.

When opting for integrity, not only do we make ourselves moral human beings, but we also help create a more ethical society.

If I could give you any virtue to guide your life it would be this: let integrity be your light. 😊
