Integrity: A Lesson from the Stars

Good day, dear reader. Today, I’d like to share a story with you, a tale from my past that taught me a valuable lesson about integrity. This story revolves around a celestial event that I witnessed many years ago – the sighting of a comet.

The Night of the Comet

It was a chilly winter’s night, the sky was clear, and the stars were twinkling like diamonds scattered across a black velvet cloth. I was a young lad then, full of curiosity and wonder. My father, a man of few words but profound wisdom, had told me about the arrival of a rare comet.

He had said, “Comets are like people, son. They come and go, leaving a trail behind. But what matters is the light they emit while they’re here, not the dust they leave behind.”

The Promise

Excited, I made a promise to my friends that I would capture the comet’s journey across the sky with my small telescope and share the experience with them the next day. However, as the night grew darker, the cold became unbearable. I was tempted to break my promise and retreat to the warmth of my bed.

The Lesson

But then, I remembered my father’s words about the comet. I realized that just like the comet, my actions would leave a trail behind. If I broke my promise, I would leave behind a trail of disappointment and broken trust.

So, I decided to brave the cold. I stayed up all night, my eyes glued to the telescope, and witnessed the comet in all its glory. The next day, I shared my experience with my friends, who were overjoyed.

Integrity: The True North Star

That night, I learned that integrity is about keeping your word, even when it’s not convenient. It’s about being true to your commitments, no matter how small they may seem.

Integrity, dear reader, is the true North Star. It guides us through the darkest nights and helps us stay on the right path. It’s not about the trail we leave behind, but the light we emit while we’re here.

So, let’s strive to be like the comet, shining brightly and staying true to our course, no matter what.

Until next time, remember to keep your integrity intact and let it guide you through life’s journey.

Yours in wisdom,

Kev
