I think I understand - you should compromise your ideals and standards for others, but not where there is only yourself to consider!?
It pretty much sums up me and my approach to life - I set myself high standards, but am prepared to accept less from my colleagues!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think being able to compromise with yourself really saves a lot of disappointment!. I don't mean to the degree where you can end up not valuing yourself!.

The capacity to compromise to me is rather beautiful - shows a lack of fixity!.

I so often go out to the shops with an idea in my head of what I want - Its never there and I have to talk to my wantiness and try to get something that we like just as much but obviously in the new seasons colour!.

I suppose its not so much compromise a a new choice - do I want thi sin pink and in the wrong shape - will I make soemthing myself will I buy this and alter it!.

I can t change the facts that there isn't what I want - and it isnt an option to go cold or naked!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Aim high, always go for the best option - but sometimes you have to settle for what is possible!. I don't think that is compromising with yourself - it is more making use of what is currently open to you, though you can still aim higher if the opportunity comes later!.

For instance career - we can't all expect to start at the top, but starting on the step of the ladder closest to you gets you on the way, and you can still aim upwards!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You will go insane not allowing yourself to compromise with yourself!. And you won't be much fun to be around either, always trying to live up to some impossible ideal for yourself you've set up in your head!.

Here's the deal: we all make mistakes, we all have to change our life plans sometimes and we all have to say sometimes, "well, it's not exactly what I want, but it will do!."

Don't go around beating yourself up with this idea of not compromising your ideals or your dreams or even clothing choice!. It's narcissistic and irritating!. Sure, don't become a criminal and don't sell your body for drugs, but let yourself change your mind or your view on something if you must or you discover new information that leads you to another view!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is no right or wrong, only peoples opinions and the meaning attached to that!.

You cannot compromise yourself!. It is an impossibility!. You may think you can, but you really can't be anything other than yourself!.

And you shouldn't compromise with others!. You have an opinion, you should use it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that we should try our best not to compromise with ourselves, settle for second best and so forth, it should be a last resort because it can lead to regrets and wasting our time doing things which are not right for us, on the other hand, we have to know when what we want is unobtainable, if we insist on the unobtainable we wast our lives waiting for just the right thing to come along and we miss out on things we hadn't even thought of:)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Compromising for a situation is fine, it's what helps us get through life, but compromising yourself in a situation is just proposterous!.
Never ever, ever, EVER do that!.

only those who believe something that is wrong so blindly, and are then exposed to the truth, need ever compromise with themselves, unless they have more than one personality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Without the ability to question yourself and doubt what you believe, you lose the ability to learn and grow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its a choice that you only ever need to make in the moment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
