The small defeats

My little defeats happen when I commit to doing something and then leave it undone. I said I would do it. I knew what I had committed to.

That is the kind of defeat I want to notice. I can look at the gap between what I said and what I did, and ask what I am going to do about it now.

Integrity is the alignment of my thoughts, words and deeds. The commitments I make to myself are part of that too.
