Integrity is the wall you don’t notice until someone tries to knock it down.

Integrity is invisible while it is working. It shows up as a set of options you never seriously considered, which is why it feels like nothing at all until something tests it. Pressure is what makes the structure visible, both to you and to everyone watching. Whatever holds was built long before the push arrived.

Decide now, while things are calm, what you will not do. Put it in specific terms rather than as a general intention. That sentence is what will be standing there when something leans on it.
