When you are looking for energy to fuel conviction, take care to draw upon only positive & principle-based sources; avoid the trap of tapping into negative drivers like defiance or resentment, no matter how powerful they may seem.
never compromise on compromise
There may be times when circumstances dictate that you absolutely must compromise.
Whenever this happens, make the best of it by engineering a scenario where what needs to be sacrificed is simply some perceived comfort, traded off for the benefit of strategically adapting to your current context.
Just have a care that you never permit compromise to be a matter of relinquishing or sacrificing your principles. Ever.
Consider this deeply: Treat intelligently managing compromise as investing in your future, not acquiescing to your present.
