There are many circumstances where the word 'settling' is a positive thing. Settling into a job, settling into a home, settling into a relationship, etc. To become settled is to become comfortable. Unfortunately, far too often we choose settling as the easy way out. The sad truth about settling, is that in many circumstances, we settle because we do not believe we can do any better. This statement is rarely true. Whether we choose to recognize it or not, we are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for. We were not put on this earth to settle for the first thing that is offered to us. We were put on this earth to push every boundary and seek out what we are truly passionate about. Whether it is a career, a personal goal, or a partner, we deserve to take the route that will give us the greatest level of fulfillment. No one wants a mediocre career and no one wants a mediocre love life; these are two aspects of our existence that should make an individual radiate with pride and happiness. We take pride in things that we work hard for, not things that are handed to us on a golden platter. With that said, everyone deserves to recieve great fortune from time to time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having something fall perfectly into place on its own. But the key is never expecting these types things to happen. This way we are continuously working to build the life we deserve and not just waiting around for it to build itself.
