Life is full of compromises. From the moment your alarm clock goes off till you lay down to sleep, decisions or choices are made based on what you are willing to live with and without. As such there is great value in understanding this important principle of human relationships. However, you must realize that every compromise impacts a promise in your life. For instance, pursuing the promise of a better future motivates such to rise up to attend to our daily duties, such as, getting the children ready for school, getting to work on time, taking care of our bodies, etc. Without this promise, one can argue that there is no value in waking up early to attend to these stressors.

Therefore, before you make another decision concerning your choice of friends, sending another text message or phone-call, forging a relationship or even performing acts that will be deemed as "good deed," please take time to assess the inherent risk and the particular promise you are letting go.

In today's conversation, we turn our attention with Min. Denzel Agyemang-Prempeh to the practical matters of compromise. Friends, many have been wounded because what started out as a benign relationship or friendship, has become the very thing that has led or is leading to their destruction. "If you give up your integrity for men/women, you automatically lower the bargaining price for your soul."
