The difference between compromise and self-betrayal

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this and I finally heard something that resonates with me and provides a perfect definition and differentiation.

Compromise: when you willingly do or do not do something out of love, and it does not cause you to feel bad about yourself.

Self-betrayal: is when your action or inaction essentially says to yourself that you're not worth  protecting, and worse, that you're no better than those who hurt you. Self-betrayal leaves you feeling drained, it costs you your power, and causes you to lose the integrity of who you are, and it just doesn't feel right on the inside.

I leave you with some brilliant quotes from brilliant minds who have pondered self-betrayal as well:

Look into my eyes and smile Follow me with your gaze Come and stand beside me Drink in my scent Graze my arm with yours And let yourself breathe out You're safe here by my side Talk with me about everything And nothing at all Laugh, and cry with me Share a meal with me Hold me close and cherish me. Touch my hand as we walk together Write me words of love Lose yourself in my embrace And find out what I'm worth Kiss like it's the first time, the last time and the best Take me away with you And show me all the rest.

Courage is not the absence of fear

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." -George Addair Wholeheartedly believe this. We have two choices in life: be led by fear, or lead with love and courage, trusting that things will unfold and work out just as they should. Maybe not how you planned, but always for the best. Fears will never disappear. But when you make peace with your fears, possibilities will appear. The next time you feel fear, just take the superhero stance! (And do some yoga to quiet the mind.)
