Without compromise.

Can we live a day without making compromises? An hour? A minute?

We get so used to making compromises that we don't even remember what it's like to live without them. Rather, our culture dictates that compromise is necessary. In work, in relationships, in every space.

Living without compromise isn't easy. It requires you to make hard choices. You might let some people down. You might lose some relationships.

But living without compromise is blissful. You become true to yourself when you stop selling yourself out.

Integrity is not just about not lying to others. It starts with not lying to yourself.

When you experience unity of intention, fascination, and purpose, you live like a bloodhound on a scent, joyfully doing what feels truest in each moment.

~ Martha Beck, The Way of Integrity
