Honesty with oneself is the condition of Spiritual Integrity

There is no "Right" way of doing something "Wrong".

All failure is only temporary as is success that is born of dishonesty. By looking at the exploits of Messrs Maxwell and Bond, we have the point illustrated perfectly.

Living at opposite ends of the globe, they were without any particular connection or association, both were very highly respected Captains of World Industry & Commerce, revered by all. But for whatever the reason and without pointing any fingers, unrelated separate disgraces and dishonors have befallen both men as a result of their accredited actions.

Honour, Integrity and self respect are all things we each process, that no one can ever take away from us.

Only we, by our actions, can give them away. Each time anyone lies, cheats or acts dishonestly, powerful forces are drawing them even closer towards failure. However each time we are truthful, honest and conduct ourselves with sincerity and integrity, the even more powerful FORCES OF SUCCESS will be propelling us on and forward to a greater and more enduring success.

It is said "Never do business with someone who will cheat at golf"

There is great merit in this adage because there is no one so completely unable to be trusted, as the person who seemingly enjoys consciously and deliberately cheating and deceiving themselves. Misleading ourselves can always only lead us to one end and that is, having to try to mislead others. This is perhaps an area we all need to guard against because it is quite frankly, all too easy for us to kid ourselves.

Misplaced self-justification as with a misplaced anything, only usually ends us up also inevitably being Misplaced. Misplaced is the same as saying, In the wrong place and being in the wrong place was never the right place to be.

An honest self-analysis that is positively acted upon, no matter how unpalatable, can ultimately only leave us in a stronger and more solid position for the future.

It is never too late to look at ourselves and do something about what we find. Once done we must be fair to ourselves and forgive "US" forget it, move on because to deal with the past is not the same or so self-limiting and totally counter productive as living in-it.
