Compromising values... Is it worth it?

I'm working on a blog right now.. This should be posted sometime next week.. It'll be very intense and very interesting. Meanwhile.. read up on some of my old posts from myspace... It never gets old, but hopefully you'll learn something new from this.

Is it really worth it? Do we compromise our values, just to give that person what they want?

One of the mistakes I learned from compromising your values is that people who compromise values for many reasons. Sometime we may ignore one of our values simply to please the people in your life. I know it's not good at all. Friendship, Relationship, Associates.. etc… it's about trust, acceptance, appreciation, love and honesty. We simply cannot afford to be anything than who you really are within a relationship or friendship... I think it's important that we should remain true to ourselves. Today, I learned that there are many people out there who are not being true themselves, constantly faking friendship or relationship, etc and yet they wonder why they can't keep someone in their life.

I guess we should understand that committing to being genuine and true to your values is the key here. Man, don't ever let anyone compromise your values no matter what. Our parent raised us according to their values, and we will raise our children according to our values that our parent instilled in us, so it's very important that we stick to what we believe in and not compromise it at all. If anyone comes along and he or she may insist that your value is not of importance to them, therefore it shouldn't be to you. Right? WRONG! Remember our values are extremely valuable to us, and it's important that we remain true to it. If you give in and let that person have their way; believe me, you will regret it. I made this mistake and still regret it to this day.

Whatever relationship we have with certain person (Love, business, social, etc...), it's based on acceptance of each others values. I feel like we shouldn't even attempt to convince someone that their value is wrong. I think that there is nothing wrong with expressing our values to anyone, but to convince them to change theirs when they do not agree with us is not right.

When we compromise our important values… it will cause us to lose in two ways: You will resent that person, and you will not be happy. Second thing is that we're going to regret it no matter how we handle it……..

Consider it lesson learned for me…….I should've never compromised my values when it counted the most…….
