What are you willing to compromise?
In love relationships there is always a need for compromise. We live in a society that says zero compromise, but I think we are forgetting the importance of true “language”
Zero compromise is not me saying no to your high standards. No, have high standards. That’s where we do not settle for the bare minimum and our high standards are ones that align with our values and morals. But compromising is when preferences are different than standards. Standards are the line and preferences are the design. You may not get the design but you do get that perfect line. If you want what’s perfect for you, you get someone who is aligned with you, your values, and morals. I think the last persons I dated never aligned with my true values well they acted as if they were in alignment with my values and morals. However, ideally they did not match my standards when they were put through the vetting process. So I did not compromise my values or morals when it came to these suitors but I did compromise the design/preferences I have.
When I aimed for a relationship that was the preferences and the values and morals I messed it up because I compromised our shared values and morals. This is the issue. The issue isn’t that he didn’t “fit” the part. The issue lied in the fact that I did not uphold my standards for myself. This is a part of truth that I feel like is the hardest to face. I can only speak for myself but I know a lot of people could relate if they have the soul to change rather than a mind stuck on one thing and ears stuck to their own detachment from reality.
This is a hard pill to swallow, the pill that we all make mistakes so when we talk about compromise we have to bring up that—
Look at yourself in the mirror: Ask—
what areas do you need grace in? What areas do you need an understanding heart, mind, and soul to empathize or at least sympathize what you’re going through?
So back to my first question, what are you willing to compromise? When it comes to relationships, our dream relationships we typically despise the idea of letting go a piece of that master piece. But we want a collaborative piece from both artists when it comes to making a relationship. This is not a one size fits all kind of thing darlings. We want real vibrant, authentically beautiful, joy-filled love. That is healed and sealed. Signed, sealed and delivered to be yours…
For example, I’ll show you a couple of things I’m willing to compromise.
Now mind you, no one likes compromising. Like Eartha Kitt literally laughed at the idea of compromising for a man.
But if we really want a healthy love, we won’t have restrictive love environments. We will have to cultivate a space that allows the ability to breathe.
What is a Graceful Belle willing to compromise…
Time. If my man is a hard working man, I understand that time is something I will have to sacrifice. I may not be able to have him to myself all the time. But he is doing what a man is supposed to do, work hard. This isn’t isolating because as a powerful woman, I’m working hard too. So it’s a partnership in conquering the world ya know? Lol. This is a joint effort to empower the next generation. So that one-on-one time is something I will sacrifice for his goals to be met and for my own goals to be met. Of course in the beginning of the relationships you will need that time to build. But I think it’s better when you are letting both parties build an amazing empire because they are both kings and queens. Now not every relationship is a king and queen relationship. Now I’m getting into my Glamorous Academia type of content because I’m really teaching right now. Lol!
I pray that this blog post can really set someone free from their past ideologies so they can truly get what they want 😂
