"Sacrificing and settling are not synonymous.When you sacrifice, you give up something in order to gain something better.When you settle, you compromise on something while sacrificing your opportunity to get something better.Make sure you settle and sacrifice for something worth it."
Yet, my friend added, "When you sacrifice you are moving in God's order...when you compromise you're just getting in God's way."
I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.|I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.|If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.
~ Audre Lorde
