The nature of integrity.

It’s funny.

And also not so funny.

As the hero of this Marnix story, I could tell you proudly about my integrity.

I stand 100% for how I look at life, and how I see coaching.

I have absolutely no interest in watering down what I write, what I teach, and how I work with people.

The idea of not committing to my deepest truths is simply unbearable.

So I don’t compromise.

I can’t.

I LITERALLY can’t.

And that automatically describes the other side of what’s going on.

The funny part.

The integrity is not a divine choice I made, some deliberate and well-contemplated step, or an honorable activity.

It’s simply how life created this particular story.

So it’s not really mine to own.

I didn’t do it.

What could be called ‘my integrity’ is not a real moral struggle that keeps me fighting every day: I just can’t do what I can’t do.

And I can’t do something that is more mainstream and generally easier on the eyes and ears of the public, so more people will appreciate it.
