To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity. ~Douglas Adams
When intellect and emotions become so intertwined that finding the truth is like being in a marsh at midnight, it's time to call a truce on decision-making. The Betrayal card is a warning that emotional beliefs can easily bend the truth until I'm convinced I'm speaking honestly and acting with integrity. Yet there are a few road markers to help me know if I'm traveling a path of integrity.
- I keep my word and commitments.
- I admit when I've made mistakes but don't enable unacceptable behavior in others.
- I keep my focus and notice when I intentionally create distractions.
- I don't pronounce something as true unless there is evidence of it.
- I am sincere and respectful without people-pleasing; I act responsibly without getting caught in the 'shoulds.'
