God, what am I supposed to do now.
I had already vowed not to exchange my body for any job
regardless of the situation; but now I am faced with no other option but to compromise my value for this
job. My mom is terribly sick and I need money for her medications.
This was the emotional hurdle Sophia was passing through on her way back from a job interview.
Sophia had initially promised never to compromise her values for any reason regardless of how hard the
situation may be.
Unfortunately, being faced with a difficult situation now, she was already contemplating doing what she
had vowed not to do.
After much contemplation and thinking, Sophia decided she had no other choice but to bend her values
this one time for the sake of her mother.
She went ahead to do the one thing she had vowed never to do just to get the job and take care of her
mom.
She eventually got the job but she had lost her peace of mind and the guilt of what she had done kept on
hunting her continuously.
She tried to concentrate on the job, but each time she kept on feeling a pang of guilt.
Unfortunately, after compromising once, she found out that in order to maintain her job she had to do
keep on bending her values just to keep her job.
She knew what she was doing was not right, but she thought she had no other choice but to yield.
Unfortunately, a time came when she could not continue bending her values because of the enormous
guilt she was facing, which led to her dismissal from the job.
Many times, we are faced with situations that leaves us with no other choice but to compromise our
values.
In such situation, we may think that the best option is to bend our values just like Sophia did.
We should know that situations comes to test us in order to see our level of resilience and inner
strength.
Compromising during difficult situations only provide a temporary solution to such situation and often
times leaves people with feelings of guilt.
Fact is when you compromise your values in the face of difficulties, it will become a continuous process.
You will keep compromising and bending your values to solve the same problems over and again.
When we are faced with difficult situations, rather than compromising we should try to have faith in God
and believe that there is a way out and a solution to every problem.
Put more efforts in whatever you do and become so good at it that people find you irresistible. When
you are good at something, you won’t need to compromise your values to get what you want.
Believe that there is always a way out of every difficult situation, and at the right time you will get what
you want without fear or compromise.
Do not allow people to mislead you or advice you wrongly. Many times we tend to compromise because
of the negative advices we received from people.
We should learn at all times never to compromise our values for any reason.
God bless you
