Integrity

Being solid in yourself is just one thing: integrity. Your thoughts, your words, and your actions are the same thing. You think it, you say it, you do it — no gap between the three. That’s what it means to be yourself. There’s no second version running underneath, nothing to hide, no story to keep straight. A person like that has nothing to poke at, because there’s no seam. Most of the weight people carry is the distance between what they think and what they do — close that gap and it lifts.

And once you’re solid in yourself, people lose their grip on you.

You can’t turn a person in witness-consciousness into a victim by poking at their ego. They’re flexible — they just change their behavior and move on.
