“Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.”
— Brene Brown

Simplified Meaning:
Having integrity means being brave enough to stand up for what is right, even if it is difficult or uncomfortable. Imagine you see a friend being bullied at school. It would be easier to stay quiet and not get involved, but if you choose to step in and help, you are showing integrity. It's about doing the right thing, not just what is enjoyable or convenient at the moment. Instead of taking shortcuts or lying, you stick to your principles and show through your actions that you really believe in honesty and kindness. Integrity means your values guide your actions, not just your words. For example, if you value honesty, you tell the truth even when it's hard, rather than just saying you believe in honesty but acting otherwise.
