Integrity is a very important part of having a relationship. It is very important to keep the agreements that you make in a relationship. You have to keep your word if you are going to have a relationship with anyone. Integrity and keeping your agreements are important in every relationship. It doesn’t matter if your relationship is a romantic one or a business relationship, integrity is crucial. If you don’t keep your agreements, then other people will learn that you are not a good person and will shame you and avoid you.
Key Takeaways:
- It takes far more self-discipline to listen calmly to serious criticism than most people have.
- Although everyone wishes to avoid shame it can prove to be a necessary bridge to rebuilding trust that has been lost.
- If you do break trust and dishonor agreements you must accept the penance of others anger and pain if you wish to repair what you have broken.
