When compromise isn’t possible

Unfortunately, sometimes we find ourselves in situations where compromise isn’t 100% possible. In these situations, both of us can’t have what we want.

Either you’ll get what you want, or the other person will.

There’s no right answer in these situations. Sometimes you’ll choose to give the other person what they want. Sometimes you’ll choose to attend to your own wants or needs.

But please do remember that you get to choose.

You get to choose who gets what they want. 
I’ll say it again: You are choosing.

Do you like your choice?

I’m rooting for you.
