Life is full of distraction and obligation. It is so tempting to just go with the flow, not make waves, and take what life gives you. It’s so easy to accept what the status quo. The question this week is – What will you not compromise on, no matter what? What will you stand for this week, regardless of the pressures, temptations, distractions, and obligations you encounter?

What will you commit to this week? No matter what, make a commitment to stand for something this week, whether its small or large. Whether it’s completely personal or it has something to do with somebody else. Make a stand this week. What will you stand for?

What might cause you to compromise? What gathering storm may cause you to shrink from your commitment? Think about the things that might hinder your commitment – what distractions might creep up? What obligations do you already know you have? What pressures might be put on you to cause you to buckle and back down? Give these some thought too, and be prepared for them.

Once you know what you’re going to stand for, and you know what might cause you to compromise, journal ways that you’ll resist these forces that can cause compromise. How will you navigate obligations and distractions? Be ready for your week, know what you’re going to stand for, no matter what. Know what might cause you to compromise, then know how you can defeat these forces that might cause you to compromise.

You’ve got this.
