I never thought about how important integrity is in life until I was in the middle of some trouble. After I thought about what I did and how foolish it was, I went back to the people I affected negatively and asked to correct the situation.
To my surprise, they had positive words to give me and mentioned how few people today have the integrity to correct something they did wrong. It was only after they mentioned how some people let their integrity drain out of their lives as water would from a cracked cup.
That visual made me aware of two things; one, I can lose any integrity I had built up to that point by things I say or do and two, integrity can be re-established with time, concentration and effort.
