The Art of compromise

The decisions we make form the life we live. Sometimes one wrong decision can cast an irreversible demonic spell that leaves us on the balcony of our inner spaces crying over the ashes of our assassinated dreams and desires. While other times one decision can lift us up to the climax of a well lived life where we enjoy the panoramic view of life occurrences with the smile of satisfaction and success.

For some of us hesitation is a killer, when we bounce back and forth between consent and refusal, time passes us by and we are neither left with neither nor the right to agree or reject. In the same manner there are those of us who attack and slaughter the hesitation with a brave heart, enjoying the thrill of the risk gambling everything we have for what we could possess additionally, so we dance on the edge between the thin line of danger and safety feeling more alive when in jeopardy!

every so often we feel the need to sit back and think any decision over, and that’s when we try to find that middle ground between what we want and what we can have; between reality and ideality, between sacrifice and holding out to what we can never ever give up even if the rewards are infinite. So we take the time to think of the pros and cons, to measure twice so we can cut once, to discover what is more important to us and what is the proper or the improper way to obtain it; this is where the art of compromise is most highlighted, the true artist is the one who recognizes his assets and knows his inner map in a complete coverage , he has the skill to discern what makes his life worthwhile so he can adhere to it and knows what he is capable of giving away in order to take it back doubled in a different form.

Never give up what you can never stop thinking about every day, never compromise who you are for you will risk becoming an immigrant in your own identity, a stranger to yourself and a different person to others, never compromise your right to be happy for you can be selling your soul to the devil and you will make your heart your own tomb!

Never compromise your character , but rather learn how to bend , how to live with the tides of your being, the change in you is natural, but not your change and transformation into someone you are not so you can gain things and materials that will not add to who you can become but rather steal your spark away from you, you will be caught up in the web of having while you can resist the temptation and enjoy the freedom of being even if you did own earthly riches and fortunes, you will rule yourself and be the only legislator of your life.

You can compromise your preferences, your possessions, things are negotiable but individuality can never be!

Win yourself and any los can be regained, lose yourself and all the growth you reach would still make you a dwarf in comparison to the gigantic immensity of a free human being!

You only live once and for a life well lived, once is more than enough once you get it right, so know yourself and learn how to master the art of having and being!
