I have read Steve's articles from the "Living Your Values" series.

Seems to me like he is clearly sustaining that it is powerful and effective to make decisions based on your values (which is what I also want to do, and this is why I started this thread). However, those articles didn't really tackle the delicate situations where your values are really put to the test and would require you to take drastic actions with radical repercussions. Still, he didn't say anywhere that he believes you can compromise on your values whenever the going gets too tough. He did say it's good to reexamine them and change them, if you change your beliefs, but not that you should compromise on those values that you are choosing to live by.
