Do you have one hard, and fast rule that you do not compromise on?

Everything seems to change so often, as soon as I settle on going thru’ with something, I must compromise. It seems the one constant is respect for myself. I might at times be disappointed, or angry, it’s so bad to disrespect myself. Do you have anything similiar?

It’s good to have principles to stand by, but it’s necessary to question them whenever possible to keep them relevant. It’s exhausting.

I have no respect for myself and principles be damned. That said, always tip the pizza boy.

I refuse to sleep with Scarlett Johansson and Fergie. I know it’s harsh, but so far they have respected my integrity enough to comply.

I do not spend time with crazy people. I was forced to when I was a kid but now I refuse to.

@Chongalicious I was liberally interpreting T.R’s quote.

The people I want to engage in my life, I look at them and ask myself, “if I take them to my friends and family and say how we met, will I be ashamed in any way?”

If you say you’re going to do it, do it. If you’re going to do it, do it well and do it better than anyone else before you.

@CaptainHarley Mess with my family and you’re dead meat! : )

In the Navy to mess with someone is to share a meal. Are you a cannibal?

@ucme can’t resist a little Brit wit!

It reconnects me with my Muchness, that ol jolly Bob! ;-)))

it’s the funniest saying I’ve heard since, “If I had a pig turd, you’d want one too!”

Never use someone to gain your advantage. Probably why I wasn’t that good at sports in high school.

I have 3 rules:

1. Follow your heart
2. Respect (myself and others)
3. Have faith

When I remember these, life is good

When the SH#$ hits the fan and there is no way out I say a quick little prayer real fast depending on the situation at hand like a car coming at me head on and I can’r get out of the way….it goes like this…“God help me,God help me, God help!!!”... and I am still alive today!
