To Compromise or not to compromise ?

Hey everyone!!!

Happy Fridayyyyy

Today I will share a romance story with you. Well it is but it is related to anything we want in life. Our attitude towards our personal life is the same towards our business life. When I was living in New York a few years ago, I was staying to a serviced apartments building and every afternoon we were having drinks or tea on week days with the rest of the residents.

I have met really good and impressive personalities in those evening meetings. One of the most interesting personality was a friend of mine her name is Mariah and she was from Australia. A beautiful young woman, ambitious and totally a fit for the Manhattan lifestyle. Manhattan lifestyle is high ambitious, high flyer, career and money oriented. Yes, I was like that exactly myself too.

One evening we were having our wine and were chatting about boys hahaha we were both single in a city that never sleeps! Yes, we were checking out guys. She had so many messages and I was like what are you doing girl? Why are you not dating then? There was especially a certain guy that he was stunning! Greek God I would say.

I asked her and her answer really stayed with me until today and I would like to ask your opinion and comment if you like. She said to me "Nadia, I don't need just anyone. I need my future husband to be worthy of me and me being worthy of him." I was curious what she meant by saying "worthy" and I asked her what she meant exactly.

She looked at me with her big shiny green eyes and smiling she said to me "Well, when you go shopping to buy a jumper, don't you have some requirements? For example to keep you warm, to be stylish but mainly to keep you warm or else you might want to buy something else in a week time, right? she had a sip of her wine and looked at me in a more serious note. "nadia I am 30+ years old and I do want to have a family. I can't lose time to dating men that I don't really fancy them and I don't mean sexually. It is like a job. You need to keep your eyes on the prize, if you compromise and waste your time right and left then you will never reach your goal.

I saw today her photos on social media and she was with a lovely man exactly or very close to what she wanted. It took her a few years but she got what she always was dreaming.

Now, I am asking you? What do you think? Shall we compromise due to the fear that we will never reach our goal? Will we never have the relationship we always wanted or shall we keep dreaming and walking toward the goal? Keeping your eyes on the prize?

Have an amazing weekend!
