Chapter 10 - Play By The Rules
There are words for poeple who achieves victory: winners, champions.
But we have not a single word for those who honor the rules.
Aristotle said that the central question is not just "What shall I do" but "What kind of persion shall I become?"
The journey to integrity require...
... the cultivation of a desire: I must want to be good more than I want to do well.
... a decision: I will choose to play with integrity and lose rather than cheat and win.
... a belief: I cannot succeed in what I do and fail in who I am
Integrity is nt the same as knowing the rules or reputation.
"Sin avoidance" is not the same as integrity.
Thinking I'm Okay doesn't guarantee Integrity
"My problem is not just my lack of character; it is that I can't even see how badly I lack it."
The way back home for rule breakers is the way of grace through repentance.
