Short excerpt from a YouTube video in which Hadar Shemesh advises that personal progress (example: speaking a second language) requires consistent work and follow-through; lacking self-integrity—i.e., failing to keep promises to oneself—prevents improvement.
You cannot expect of yourself to be at a certain place without doing the work to get there. Did I want to improve, but I didn't put in the work or I didn't follow through with what I had said that I'm going to follow through? Maybe you didn't have the self integrity to keep that promise and keep doing the things that you said that you're going to do. This is such an important aspect of speaking a second language, being able to make a commitment to yourself to do the work and sticking with it.
