3 Things that I have known all my life

I love that we are all so unique because anything worth doing takes a team. These are 3 things that are intrinsic to my being, and have been for my life. In Syntropic World we call this our Pattern Integrity.

1. The difference between selfishness and agency. I remember having an argument with my mother when I was around 13 years of age. She accused me of being selfish. It was a projection. I intrinsically understand that my usefulness and support to others can only happen when I am able, well and functioning. The healthier I am, the better I am able to serve. I have, for this reason and others, placed my health care as central to my life. When I am suboptimally healthy, I simply cannot give my best. Similarly, you will find me losing myself in books, not because I am selfish, although there is definitely a selfish element, but because I want to be able to use the knowledge I gain to support others. In my well-being and agency, I can give more. Selfish is to only consider self. When we are considering and caring for ourselves to support others, this is not selfish. The more I am in my agency, the better I can serve.
2. I know a bully. I know how to confront a bully. I am fairly masterful at getting a bully to tie a metaphorical noose around their neck. I am not afraid of them. I have always been a strand for justice against those in my field who are being oppressed. I have learned to pick the gaslighter. The master manipulator.
3. I know integrity. The difference between shit coating and sugar coating. I have extremely high standards for integrity and for people to be their word. If you say you will, I will trust you. If you do not do what you say, then I will challenge you as to why you didn’t if you do not offer. I have huge scope for diversity and a very skinny scope for lying, cheating, deception, manipulation and lack of integrity.

Of course, these 3 things have their shadow. My integrity radar can be brutal. I am quick to anger, can and do appear intimidating, and often come across as distant and rude.

What are your 3 or more things?
