A compromise against yourself is forged when you give in to the will of another.
You decide against your own better judgment and inner voice to do something that goes against what you feel.
You will know it because you feel it. Whatever you are doing simply feels wrong for you.

Yet? We find ourselves doing it anyway.

It can be an effort to avoid conflict or to make another person happy.
But aren’t making yourself happy.

Compromise in certain situations is necessary.
But if you find you are doing this a lot – the result will be that you are straying from your own path.

This can lead to anxiety, fear, anger, resentment, depression, and worse.

It’s lovely to make people happy.
Just don’t do it at the expense of your own.
