I bring up this word to ponder because of some of the positive and negative connotations of the term compromise. Look it up in the dictionary, and it appears to be relatively negative.
Somehow, we are settling for something less, we are making ourselves vulnerable, and somehow, we are losing.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. I talked to some people at a party earlier this week, and the term compromise came up. The consensus of many people there was that compromise is not a win-win situation. It's a win-lose. People felt that they were losing if they had to compromise in a negotiation. It didn't matter what the compromise might be. They just considered it a loss.
When we think of that, we must wonder how that ideology manufactures or manifests itself in their life.
Take action, put a plan together, and even if you never have to use it, you will have it for your children. And your children will recognize that you're doing something for them, and they will love you. So, mom and dad, what are you compromising?
