This past weekend has been a hectic one. I try not to complain or vent about life and I won't do it here. But, a lot's been on my mind and on my plate. Tonight in class, we had a discussion about the word shown above - integrity. The lecture focused on the second definition and developed into how we can become whole or one with God. 

It made me think about a YouTube video I used to watch everyday. At one point, I had it memorized, but over the past month and a half, I haven't made it a priority. During tonight's class, I realized that part of the reason why I've been feeling overwhelmed has been because I've been focusing on the details of my life and not on the big picture. I've needed to get back to the most important things and the smaller matters will take care of themselves. That's how it's worked for 24 years of my life, at least.

The video I mentioned, will help in achieving personal integrity. It helps in focusing your mind on what matters most. It can change your perspective and your attitude. I've posted it on my Facebook page before, but here it is again. Enjoy! And let it improve the integrity - the wholeness - of your life!
