  • Inner Integrity

    Many people responded to our topic of integrity. A great friend sent the following:

    “Inner integrity is our basic nature – the effortless emotional wholeness that is our human birthright.”
    “When we tune into our direct experience as it actually is in the moment – not what our heads think about it, but what we actually experience – we find ourselves able to act in alignment with life, rather than wrestling with it.”

    The author is Kerry Moran, LPC, and the highly-recommended website is:

    Are you able to access your inner integrity? How are you aware of it? What has stopped you from being there in the past?

  • The Conflict Between Perfection and “The Good”

    Consider a few quotations on perfection:

    Voltaire: “Perfection is the enemy of the good.”

    Isaac Bashevis Singer: “Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.”

    General George Patton: “A good plan implemented today is better than a perfect plan implemented tomorrow.”

    How do you feel about perfection? Are you genuinely willing to settle for the good, or have you been hooked on a vision of perfection? When you settle for the good, how do you feel?

    Have you won, or have you compromised? What is the most perfect thing you have ever done or experienced?
