What's Your Integrity Score?

Your Credit and Integrity are two things that you have ultimate control over. If you don't pay your bills on time then there is a possibility that you will have a low credit score that will prevent you from obtaining some of the most important finer things in life, such as cars, houses, loans, etc. Although this is a fact that we all are aware of, it doesn't seem to be a huge deal to a lot of people until they start to long to acquire more in life and stability. Typically, if your credit score is below 600 or so, you're seen as having poor credit and a financial risk to companies. However, the good thing is that there are always opportunities to take care of credit issues and regain financial stability. Now, here's the thing about integrity...your integrity is what makes you who you are. If, you don't  hold yourself and what you believe in in high regard, why should anyone else? Your beliefs, morals, and word are all pieces of the fabric that make a person who they are. People like to feel like they can trust and be trusted when dealing with others, which is why I came up with the term "integrity score". An "integrity score" is almost like your credit score. The more honest, forthright and morally upright your are with yourself and others, the higher your score would be and others are likely to trust your word as your bond. Whereas, if you find that you are a person who chooses to decieve, use and render a "bondless" word to any and everybody, regardless of how good they are to you, then I would be confident in saying that your "integrity score" is probably on the lower end. Unfortunately, this score isn't as easy increase like a credit score, because when you are entrusted with people's feelings they never forget the bad. The old addage says, "forgiven, but not forgotten" . So, you never fully recover from being careless with your integrity. My advice...always make sure that both your credit and integrity scores are held in the highest regard of care and respect. And, when in doubt, ask yourself, What will this situation do to my score?
