Description: Dr. Branch discusses the difference between compromise and sacrifice.  Compromise involves reaching an agreement by giving up something to find common ground, while sacrifice involves offering something up as an act of worship or appeasement.  Dr. Branch shares that he no longer wants to sacrifice himself for others, but instead wants to compromise and put himself first more often. He challenges the listener to do the same.  Examples are provided, such as eating dessert first instead of last, and not always attending family events or trips that you don't want to go to. Dr. Branch encourages listeners to reintroduce themselves to the current version of themselves, rather than living by old rules and beliefs that no longer serve them.  The main message is to choose compromise over sacrifice, and to prioritize your own needs and desires rather than always putting others first at the expense of yourself.
