The word integrity brings a lot of ideas and people to mind. I imagine brave people who refuse to yield to evil and fear. It makes me think of people who held true to their morals in times of danger. Integrity means a lot to me in my life, because without our integrity, how can we define ourselves? A measure of a man isn't just what he's done or where he's been, but how he arrived there.
If I live my life with honor and follow a basic code of ethics, I think I will have led a good life. I hope to be successful one day, and provide well for my family, but I am not willing to violate my integrity to do so. Although I am very ambitious, I will not kill or steal for personal gain. When I am dead and people reminisce about me, I hope I am remembered as a fair and honorable man who never ripped off or cheated anyone.
Integrity means a lot to me in my life because it will eventually, if not already, define who I am. By being honorable and strong, I bring honor and strength to my family, to myself, and to how people view both. I will be able to sleep well at night knowing that I did the right thing in the face of risk and held true to my integrity.

I really appreciate your post here, I think it is personal and really explains a lot about who you are and what you hold valuable.
Thanks for sharing.
I have similar feelings about integrity. If a person lives his or her life by a code of ethics that they believe are moral and they are comfortable with, then they are living with integrity. If a person can not achieve success in a moral way, then they have violated their own integrity. The grammar is good, and there are no choppy sentences. The only possible change that could have been made would be to add better transitions between each paragraph
