Is Success Possible Without Integrity?

Can you make it in life without integrity?

Can you succeed in your life without integrity?

Can you move forward in your life without telling yourself the truth?

Can you change your life without being honest with yourself?

I do not think so. It is not possible to make it in life without other people. If you do not have integrity, if people do not trust you, if they do not believe in what you are saying,

if they cannot see a path forward, they are not going to do anything with you.

If you want to make it in life, do not lie to yourself.

Do not lie to other people. When you say something, do it. If you cannot do it, tell them why you cannot do it.

Remember, if you do not have integrity, your success is not going to make you happy. Why is that? Because you were not honest with yourself.

Where Does Success Come From?

Success does not happen by accident. If you are not willing to do the work, then stop talking about success. Because success comes from doing the work,

from showing up, from loving what you are doing,

from paying attention to what matters, from living your life,

and from many failures.

Success comes from no longer doing those things that you don’t want to be an expert in and making room in your life for things you do want to be an expert in.’– Nigel Cumberland
