“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people." - Spencer Johnson
Many have told the airplane analogy of flying from L.A. to New York. As an airplane pilot flies the plane across the United States there or any place at all for that matter, they have to fight the elements outside. Mainly wind will constantly blow the airplane off course. So constantly then the pilot is course correcting and resetting the coordinates so that they will end up at the right destination. If they are off just one degree... they will end up hundreds of miles away from their destination.
By doing small little course corrections through the whole flight they are able to remain on course and reach their destination. A simple task makes the whole world of difference. It is the same with integrity. Using the principle of small and simple things, your integrity is not only maintained, yet it increases the level of trust people have for you. The best we can do at being perfected is to have constant course correcting of integrity and constantly seeking to receive truth and knowledge. When we receive these little gems, they become a part of us that will define our character.
The B Side To The Truth is to be 100 percent authentic with your own integrity. Whether with others or by yourself, course correct and perfect your integrity and light will shine forth from your eyes that you are honest and pure of heart. That is something all of us lack sometimes. Though we can not force another to be honest with us, we can be an example to all and ourselves by taking this action step when it seems no one else is willing.
