Little Foxes: Charisma Is Easy - Character Must Be Cultivated.Prøve

How could a bridge collapse in Florida and kill 6 people? How could this happen in this modern age of engineering ingenuity and technology? Yet in 2018, a section of the FIU pedestrian bridge collapsed. The shocking part? An engineer had flagged micro-cracking in the bridge just 2 days before the tragic collapse. The glamour of the bridge counted for nothing when the hidden structure lacked integrity. It’s a perfect picture of how we often ignore the structure in our own lives, don’t you think? We can construct success and wealth and achievements and accolades – but it is our integrity that holds everything up. When micro-cracks form, and we don’t take them seriously, it can result in major breakdowns. It’s kind of embedded in our human nature – we are not instinctively drawn to the hidden and hard work of building a structure in our lives that will uphold us. It brings me to an important question: how do you keep little foxes out? A life of integrity builds a fence of protection that keeps little foxes out. Ask yourself these questions: ·  Will I keep my word even if it causes a problem for me? ·  Will I lie about that money to get ahead? ·  Will I conduct my business with ethics and principle? ·  Will I honour my wedding vows? ·  Will I show up to commitments I have made? ·  Can people count on me to do what I say I am going to do? ### Big idea: Be pre-emptive – solve problems early. Don’t wait for the bridge to collapse. Deal with the micro-cracks. ### Today’s Crucial Question: What is the condition of your integrity? [IMAGE CONTENT]
