sion, every lie that you told and every mistake that you made was blocking your ability to create and live your ideal life. Well it’s true and it’s all about integrity.

Once you clean house, you will experience tremendous peace of mind and greater ease to accomplish your dreams. Broken agreements and commitments can be worked out and recommitted to. You can simply write a letter or talk to the person you had an argument with to resolve the issue. If you make a mistake, fi x it as quickly as possible. Don’t be afraid to apologize if you’ve hurt someone. It takes tremendous courage to speak the truth, to name what’s wrong and to question what’s right.
