Costs and Benefits of Being In or Out of Integrity
When one is “ in integrity”
~ Fewer problems are experienced.
~ Consistent feelings of peace and well-being are present.
~ Reactions to others is greatly diminished or eliminated.
What happens when one is “ out of integrity?”
~ Disturbances occur regularly.
~ Others are blamed. Criticism, judgments, reactions to others increase and intensify.

2. If you are out of integrity you pay a price.
3. Each of us needs our own degree/level of integrity
4. Integrity refers to what is right/healthy for YOU.
5. Having the integrity you need is always a choice.
6. Eventually you can create a reserve of integrity.
Needs: When a person is fully getting their needs met
~ They have room and love for other people. No competing.
~ Dramatic sense of self-confidence without arrogance.
~ Wants naturally decrease. No compulsions, musts.
What happens when one’s needs are not being met?
~ Much time is wasted trying to get their need partially met.
~ One attracts needy people.
Key Points:
1. Personal needs dominate one’s life if not met.
2. A need must be met; it’s not optional.
3. When needs are satisfied, we can be ourselves.
4. Needs can be satisfied.
5. If needs are not met, it’s an addiction or compulsion.
6. Integrity first, needs second, wants third.
Your invitation is to look at these areas.
Which ones do you relate to as needing your attention? (Suspend any judgments so that you can view this information as a learning exercise.
Once you can see something clearly, then you can make a choice to do something about it).
