integrity

Are there any better translations for "integrity" than "прямота, честность, чистота?"

I'd like to translate "I strive for integrity in my life," and am coming up with this: "Я стремлюсь к честности в моей жизни". But I don't want to say "striving for honesty," I want to say "integrity."

Ideas?

it means "целостность", "полнота"

I think of "полнота" as meaning "fullness, completeness," which is not exactly what I want.

"целостность" seems right, but doesn't it mean the quality of an object/resource, rather than a person?

it might be a person's quality as well. But if you want to describe a person you would say "цельный человек" (a person with integrity). So maybe you can say "Я стремлюсь (хочу) стать цельным человеком" (I want to be a person with integrity)

The word "целостность" is a good description for somebody's life - "целостность жизни" means exactly it's integrity. But the whole sentеnce... it's so difficult to make it sound Russian... May be you can say something like "Я стремлюсь к тому, чтобы моя жизнь была насыщенной" or "Я считаю, что целостность, полнота и гармония жизни - это то, к чему нужно стремиться".

я стремлюсь к гармонии в жизни

целостность or even гармония

I'd say that "чистота" is pretty appropriate. It may not look so, but it does subtly characterize a person with him adhering to the (good) principles.
