Hey, you ever feels like something's off on the inside? Maybe it has to do with
integrity. And I've got something you may have not thought of before. So watch
closely and let's build that next level inside you.
So, inside of who we are, we have some standards. And these standards are our
building blocks of life. And based upon these standards and these building
blocks, we have something to literally stand on. Now, if you are struggling in
pulling your life together, you may not have a very strong foundation that you
personally are standing on. And one of these building blocks that could be
crumbling underneath your feet as you try to build your life. One of these
blocks that could be crumbling underneath you that you didn't even know
was happening could be integrity. Now, most people when they hear the word
integrity, it means that you do what you say you're going to do. And that's
generally how people measure integrity is. Do what you say you're going to do. And
if you don't do what you said you're going to do, then the common
conversation is all a person's out of integrity. Because they didn't do what
they said. And then people generally leave integrity like right there. Like
we need to be a person of our word, a man of our word a woman of our word type of
integrity. And that it does play a very important role when it comes to
integrity. But there's another part to integrity that you may not know about.
You see inside you... Inside of you, you know what you could do. You know what you
could be doing in your life. And nobody else knows. You're the only one who knows
what you could be doing in your life. And you are the one who is either following
that or not. And you're the only one to gauge
that. Now, this is a level of self integrity. And it's like... Here's an
example. What if... What if you feel inside like you could make a difference in
other people's lives? Like you could do something. You could teach, you could
share, you could motivate. What if you could help other people? And you feel it
but you're not doing it. Now, you don't even have to tell people, right? You
don't have to like go and tell all your friends. Hey, I feel I feel like I should
go and help people but I'm not. Because then other but everybody else would know
that you're out of integrity because you're saying it but you're not doing it.
So, what I've noticed as a mentor, as I've mentored others in helping them build a
stronger foundation to step up on, so they can literally build their life up
to the next level, what I'm finding is that as we talk about integrity and we
do a deeper dive on integrity and we talk about this self integrity, like, "Are
you doing what you know you could do?" And guess what we find? They're hiding from
it. Literally like they know it but they don't want to tell anybody, they don't
want anybody to know but they just feel it inside. And and whatever yours is and
you have yours that's inside of you. That's not quite in alignment with what
you know you could do. For example, in my life in my life, I saw a guy
up on stage doing a presentation once. It was a big event I saw this guy up on
stage. And I looked at this guy on stage and I thought to myself, "You know what? I
want to do that." I felt it I wasn't just thinking about how cool it'd be. I
thought, "I want to do that." But I'm Kirk Duncan. You know, from a small town
in Wyoming. There's no way I could be that person. So, notice what happens is as
soon as we get in touch with what we we kind of get
a glimpse of what we could do, then there's all this justification of why we
can't do it. You know, all that justification comes in to try to create
enough evidence that it's okay that we don't follow that feeling. So for years, I
just kind of you know, kind of let it just be. I didn't tell people. I didn't
you know, express this to people because then, if I didn't do it then I was out of
integrity with people. But I was living a life of being out of integrity with
myself. And my wife one day caught me being interested in being like
somebody up on stage. You know, teaching. But I have no training to be a teacher, I
don't know what I would teach. But I... But she saw me being interested. And she
asked, "Would you like to do that someday?" And to just make sure that I never have
to deal with falling out of integrity with her, I said, "No, no. There's no way." But
she caught me being interested. Because deep down in, I was interested. It's like
"If I was just smart, if I just had it all together, if I just had great things
to say and great stories and I could move people and be a great speaker, then
I would do that. But I'm not." So, I didn't want anyone to know what I really wish I
could do. But I was out of integrity with myself. Still in integrety with everybody
else because I was doing what I said I was going to do. But I that part stayed
hidden inside of me. And you're probably like me in some... There's probably
something you want to do because you clicked on this video because that talks
about integrity. And and maybe you're looking at, "Well, what's Kirk going to say
about other people and their integrity?" But this is actually for you right now.
You know, if you're sensitive to other people's integrity, it's probably because
you're first sensitive to your own. So, if other people being out of integrity
bothers you like it stirs you and a bug you for days and
you can't let it go, it's probably because there's an outside mirror for
your inside... If I'm going to say it to you you're out of integrity with yourself.
And you know it and you felt it and you don't tell people what you wish you
could do because it doesn't seem possible.
So, whatever yours is, whatever your wish, your dream. Whatever you see inside that
you... You know what you ought to be doing, maybe it's time to get an integrity with
yourself. Maybe it's time to start studying and learning and find a mentor,
find a couch. Find somebody who's already doing this and follow them, learn from
them. But you know what happens is if we don't get in integrity with ourself, it
slowly eats at us. It just does. You know it just slowly eats at you. When I
got in integrity with myself. When I finally patched up and fixed this
building block step to step up on, I can't believe I waited that long. And
it's really fascinating. If you feel like you could do something in life that
you're not currently doing you're going, "I really wish I was doing this other
thing." And you start to take steps that way, just the mere choice of moving in
that direction, there are things they're going to come in
alignment with you because that's your calling. That's your mission, that's your
purpose. That's your... That's it. And if you're feeling like you don't have a
purpose and you don't have a life calling. You don't have a mission where
you're going. It's because you're hiding it on the inside. You're thinking it's
not for you. You think it is too big of a think of an experience. But today, we're
having this conversation, you and me we're having this conversation that it's
time. It's time to follow your purpose and your mission. And get in integrity
with yourself. When you choose in then now you feel better. And now that better
feeling just projects out to the world. And here comes the resources and the people
to line up to support you to do we've always known you got to step into. Don't
go another day being out of integrity. You already do what you say you're going to
do. Let's just go inside and get that self integrity lined up. And if I can
help you... Well if I can help you either mentoring with you or or attend one of
my live courses. You know, go to Art Of Mentoring or go to Master Your Influence
or Present Yourself. Any one of those courses. Boy, I can help you be a
presenter of mentor. Help you get your dreams in your vision put together where
you're going. I love helping people get in integrity with themselves. Because
inside you as a teacher. Let me just help you something. You're going to get good at
something and then you're going to teach people. And I love waking up the teacher
inside of every person that I meet. I finally got an integrity with
myself. And boy that feels so good. So, today's your day. Quit hiding from it.
