A man of greatness lives a life of integrity. Integrity is signified by remaining loyal to your values, ideals and standards. Integrity is demonstrated when you keep a promise, especially when this is a difficult and arduous task. Integrity does not veer toward the expedient and the convenient and the fleeting; it remains intact for the duration. Integrity is signified by remaining loyal to your friends and family through thick and thin, in both good times and bad times. Integrity is personified by a consistent internal compass that provides a congruent foundation for your external actions. Meaning, the more you may appear to change, the more you remain the same. Integrity is an anchor that prevents drifting away from the qualities that make you great. The essence of who you are remains the same even when all about you has changed.
Consider 3 men of immense personal integrity and abundant musical talent. They are aligned in vision, purpose, and friendship. After an original musician departs, they form a band that performs thousands of live shows and releases dozens of albums. They spend countless hours, alone and together, honing and perfecting their craft. Their creative and personal differences are used as fuel to experiment with, and expand upon, their shared identity without ever forgetting who they are and what they consider important. They persevere through tragedy and triumph; they overcome apathy and obsession. They ignore harsh critics and follow their muse. They remain together for 36 years and counting. They maintain their friendship, their greatness, and their integrity. They are the band Rush.
