Are You Compromising?

Are You Compromising?

Jordan Oram

“Love gives, takes and honors the sacred value of others....”

Of course it’s easier to compromise. Of course the climb is steep. Of course,you can act like it doesn’t really matter. Of course you can continue to look the other way. Of course you can swallow those feelings. Of course you can act like it wasn’t said. Of course you can over give and under receive and make everything smooth and wonderful even though it doesn’t feel good at all. Or  you could stop compromising and get honest with yourself about what you are doing and why you continue to betray yourself…

Of course you are giving. Of course you are loving. Of course you are self sacrificing but what about being true to that inner voice? Why do you insist on keeping quiet when so much around you is so inconsistent?

It doesn’t matter if they don’t like it. Why try to defend things you know are wrong? Why cover up that which needs to be evaluated? Why keep the peace when it would be better for everyone if the kitchen was just burned to the ground? Why nod yes when your feelings are screaming NO? Why remain silent when there is so much to say? Why laugh when you want to cry?

You are not here to be compromised, to buy into the lie that it just doesn’t matter. You are not here to be silenced or to be made anyone’s inferior. You are not here to be ignored, abused or manipulated and controlled not even for love.  And you most definitely are not here to compromise your one incredible self and live small for the mere reason it won’t ruffle anyone’s feathers.

You are here to live the truth that is whispering inside of you. ..

Are you compromising?

Woot woot. Check out Solar sister. Here's another cool social venture working to help others. Interesting huh. Compromise and giving and serving. It's all apart of loving others. Funny how sometimes we step over the line and violate our own power and beliefs in this wonderful dance called relationship and love. I'm wondering are you more of a giver or a taker? Betraying others or betraying yourself? Maybe it's time for some to give less and some to give more. And for all of us to commit to honor one another in this dance called humanity... God is. And thankfully he will not tolerate eternal betrayal. Give give like there's no tomorrow and stand up for anyone that takes so much they violate another...
