❝
If you love continence, avoid dishonest things before they happen, and fear no man above your own conscience. Think that all things are tolerable, except for dishonesty.
Henry Bullinger, The Decades (Second Decade, Tenth Sermon)
In the arena
Pick one area where you've been cutting corners. Maybe it's how you talk about a coworker when they're not around. Maybe it's padding a number or dodging a hard conversation. Maybe it's not working as hard as you should or wasting time on Facebook while you're on the clock.
Name it.
Then close the door on it today, before the next opportunity to compromise shows up. Don't wait for the moment of temptation to decide what kind of man you are. Decide now.
