To be true

To be true requires strong moral values and courage. To be clean and wholesome means not to sell anyone out or take anything from someone. Integrity is not a 90% or 95% thing. You either have it or not. It is a state of mind, culture and a belief.

You need to be loyal always. You must be there for those that are identified with you. Your friends are you family, and family is part of your soul. They need to know that you are there and will always be available no matter what.

When you hurt or affect someone for a personal gain you become a citizen from hell. You have placed your price and no one or anything will ever change that.

We all are human and we make mistakes. The intent is what determines our guilt. There is no power in our material world stronger than the truth and decency. I have hurt those that I love unintentionally. I have made amendments with most, but I believe I still owe someone an apology.

We may mess up in any give day, but our spirit to overcome those painful moments and try to correct our mistakes is what makes friendships and relationships strong, meaningful and eternal.

To be true is not just to be good or best. It is to be great! Exceed the average; overcome the ordinary and the expected. The best may still be bad. Greatness is overcoming the expected, exceeding the goal.

Do not yield to an easy way out. Make an effort to be assertive and proper. Confront what needs tackling and defend what requires conservation. Humanity will reward you. And do it because you feel it as the right thing to do. Disregard rewards and recognition. When it becomes part of your being recognition becomes meaningless.
