This means knowing yourself, feeling comfortable with yourself, believing you will act in your own best interest, understanding you are capable of protecting yourself from danger, and having confidence in your good judgment. If you already know, love, value, respect, and appreciate who you are, you probably have all five of these crucial attitudes. You realize that your primary and fundamental loyalty is always to yourself. You know who you are. You have integrity toward yourself.
Integrity means wholeness.
It requires spending time going within to discover and embrace the inner you. Self-knowledge takes courage. Sometimes you may not like what you find. For example, I realize that I have strong masculine traits. Although I am a petite, feminine-looking woman, I am also highly independent, motivated to achieve, and gifted with a strong sex drive.
