Compromise vs Commitment

Monday, April 15

Difficult circumstances lead to compromise.
Not feeling like it leads to compromise.
Discomfort leads to compromise.
Inconvenience leads to compromise.
Hardship leads to compromise.

Because we are hardwired for comfort. And when things don’t go our way, we crave comfort. And so we compromise on our standards, on our commitments, on our goals, on our path.

And when you compromise, you get complacent. And when you get complacent, you will ultimately quit. Because the further you get off the path, the more difficult it becomes to get back on the path.

Mental toughness is being willing to live the standard no matter your circumstances or feelings. It is refusing to compromise no matter the challenge.

Honor your commitments. Live your standard. Keep showing up.
