Integrity is more of action than talk

Hello guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing great and having a great day as well.

I hope you read yesterday's article. Yesterday's article was about how God comes through at the darkest hour. God most times like to come when it looks like all hope is lost. I feel He likes that way so that we can see and feel His Majesty and power. Also, we'll really value His presence and care in our lives. It's not new that God cares and is really interested in our affairs as His children. Although there are times that makes us feel like God is not aware of what is happening or if He's aware, we ask questions on why He's not coming through despite what we're going through. I really don't know why He does that but i can say one reason He does that is to make us learn a lesson. There are different ways God teaches us. He can either teach us by instructions or experience but some lessons are best taught by experience. Also, I you're very aware, you'll notice that during those times of pain, you learnt some kind of lessons you wouldn't have learnt or you wouldn't have had a real understanding of the circumstances surrounding that pain of you had not experienced it. The summary of everything is that regardless of how hard or painful your circumstance is, God can still surprise you. He can still come through for you. He's never late. And when He comes, you'll be surprised at the way He'll show up.

Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted.

Today's article will be on integrity by action. People usually say that talk is cheap. And really, talking is the easiest thing to do, but at the same time, talk can be dangerous. It's easy to make promises, but the problem comes when it is time to fulfill those promises. Integrity is key in anyone's life. Because integrity is what keeps you at the top, skill and connection can take you to the top but what determines your longevity at the top is your character and part of what makes up a good character is integrity.

Integrity is what makes people trust you. Integrity is what makes people trust your opinion and judgement on a matter. Integrity is what makes people remain calm even when everything is not adding up just because you're involved. They trust that you'd have everything settled. It's this same integrity that makes people vouch for you. There may be a time that accusations will come against you, it's your integrity that'll make people discard those accusations because they believe that you cannot do such a thing.

You cannot win people's trust by telling them to trust you. No one will even take you serious, because for people to trust you, it requires that you take actions that'll make them want to and decide to trust. Talking is not even a deciding factor in gaining trust.

For you to gain the trust of others, you'd need to work for it. In your working for it, you must be a man of your word. You must make sure that you don't go back on things you've said before. Your yes must remain yes and your no should remain no. That's the way to gain trust of people. It might take time to gain the trust but once gained, it becomes a very useful thing because by it you can be referred go others because of your integrity.

One thing you should ensure not to be a victim of is doing anything that'll make people not trust you again. When people who formerly trust you, lose trust in you, it'll be very hard if not impossible to gain their trust back. It's not an easy task to do.

The summary of everything is that you try not to lose your integrity. You should remain a man of your word.

Thanks and have a great day.
