Compromise is everywhere.

Compromise is everywhere.

Some would say that life is a compromise.  And they would be right  ... some of the time.

Do you have to compromise in relationships, when going out to the movies with family or friends, at work, in negotiating with a client? Yes.

But there is one thing that you should never compromise ... and that is your values.  Your values aren't depicted in what you say ... Your values touch everything you do, how you react in various circumstances, how you persevere through tough times, how you interact with others - including people you don't know.

The trouble for most people is that they don't think about their values (or beliefs).  They (may) have them and it'll be obvious to those around you (through your actions) what your values are.  But don't fool yourself.  If you are not aware of your values or you DON'T act in a way that honors your values ... then you are a lost soul.  You will float through life like the wind blown seeds of a dandelion.  You will be susceptible to the values and beliefs that others push on you.

Know what you believe, know your values (what is 'valuable' to you) and know the impact that your values have on others.  It very well may change your life ... it will certainly change how others see you.

Have an awesome day!
