Compromise

Often in life and relationships we take on roles. At times the role is as a peacemaker; and often we find we compromise to keep the peace and make others happy. Through repetition this then becomes a habit and a pattern and one we don’t even realise has become part of who we are. We make it a habit of denying ourselves to keep others happy, in time this becomes so embedded in our lives that we simply don’t notice the long term consequences of the pattern in our life, and gradually we lose something of who we are to the world.

So while compromise is part of life, we should also recognise it is important to set boundaries.
