   Hi There,
   The following five strategies demonstrate integrity and assist you in developing a deeper sense of self and experiencing higher levels of success:
   
   1. Tell the microscopic truth. Truth creates intimacy with the self. To experience intimacy with others, you must first learn to be intimate with yourself. When facing your own denial, clean out the closet. This is the highest form of integrity, when you can face yourself and embrace all aspects of yourself. Inner intimacy transmits a deep and solid respect for yourself and others. You may sometimes have been dishonest to avoid conflict or fear of abandonment. This has everything to do with the level of integrity you demonstrate. To diminish avoidance, face the conflict or fear, embrace it and move through it. This is what deepens self respect and demonstrates integrity.
   
   2. Give up excuse making. This moves you immediately into higher levels of integrity, producing success in all your affairs, whether business or personal. People with excuses rarely experience high levels of success because their level of performance is dominated by many reasons "why not." So what are you going to say if you don`t get the report done on time? How about telling the truth? How about saying something like you mismanaged your time and will do whatever it takes to complete it immediately? How about admitting to yourself the priority you gave it? What is the truth about what was going on for you that you found yourself unable to meet your agreements? A high level of integrity will keep you from talking too much about the reasons why you didn`t get it done. It really doesn`t matter. It`s not finished and that`s all there is to it. So, if you want to experience success, get quiet and get to work!
   
   3. Be 100% responsible. Stay out of blame. People who experience high levels of success do what they know needs to be done, without complaining or talking negatively. Successful individuals know the elbow grease they put into a project will return to them in myriad ways.
   
   Do you want to experience success for you or for someone else`s approval? This may be the 10 million dollar question. When you are independent and 100% responsible, your sense of well-being is not contingent upon someone or something outside of yourself. Your very presence demonstrates a sense of self which is free from control or influence. You don`t have trust issues with other people because you trust yourself to work through whatever you are facing. This level of trust enhances the level of integrity from which you choose to base your decisions.
   
   4. Give away what you want. Stop using manipulation as a means to win. Make it a win/win for everyone. The internal war we feel stems from some belief which says we are in some way going to be limited or there is not going to be enough. Since when was there not enough love? Only when you refuse to give it away!
   
   If you want love, be loving towards others. If you want respect, be respectful. If you want honesty, be completely honest. If you want cooperation, be cooperative. Things will return to you the way you transmit them. Be aware of the words you use to describe people, whether or not they hear you directly. Integrity is understanding that what you think and speak travels.
   
   5. Depend on yourself. You can know what to do. Self victimization and self abandonment come from allowing yourself to be dependent on the outside world for your knowledge and approval. Sit yourself down for a minute or two, recognize what a wonderful human being you are. You can know anything you want to know. The question is, are you willing to take responsibility for seeking whatever information you need to make high level decisions? You can know what to do. Trust yourself.
