Trade weakness in for strength

When you have to start compromising yourself or your morals for the people around you, it's probably time to change the people around you.  Unknown

Compromise: : a concession to something derogatory or prejudicial <acompromise of principles>

When people in your life are asking you, knowingly or not, to change yourself and/or your morals for them and theirs then you need to take a step back and think long and hard about the possible consequences of what you are considering changing.  When we choose to put ourselves and who we are at our core on the back burner for others we have placed ourselves in a position of weakness.  Not standing firm for our beliefs and who we are is weakness not strength.  It is not strength to bend to someone else.  It is not strength to adopt immorality to make sure people are okay with you.  It is strength to stand tall and steady in the face of pressure to compromise.  It is strength to recognize toxic people and remove them from your life so you can be healthy.  It is strength to recognize when change is good and necessary so that weakness doesn't have an opening.  
What about you?  Have you allowed compromise to be part of your life so that people "like" you?  If so, consider changing that!  Be strong, you can do it!
