"Without integrity we will never live a truly courageous life. ... A person of integrity is a person of truth. We cannot grow in integrity if we do not grow in truth. Yet truth itself is not what forms integrity, but what informs integrity. For truth to serve as the fuel in our quest for honor, our hearts must be properly positioned.
Only the teachable heart will embrace whatever truth is needed for the moment. If we are not teachable, there will be no transformation. If we are unwillling to listen, we are incapable of learning. This is why Jesus calls us to be disciples and to make disciples. It is the student of life who will learn how to live. And while intelligence, discipline, focus, and determination are all critical to the learning process, there is one characteristic that is essential: humility.
Integrity is formed in the heart of the humble. ..."
