People are settling more and more these days and it seems to be contagious. Let’s change the tide, turn the ship around, and carve a new path, a path where we are willing to compromise and at the same time unwilling to settle for anything less than the best that possibly can be.
*
When you settle for something less than what is possible the result is less than what you really desire. Settling can even have negative impacts that are totally unexpected.
*
When you don’t settle you come closer to setting yourself up for success instead of failure. If you do fail, and we all do, take notes, think about what you learned, stand back up, dust yourself off and get back on that horse.
*
Some reasons people are willing to settle for less than what can be is because the goal is too much work, they really don’t care, they might have to step up and put their ideals on the line, they might look bad in the public eye, or perhaps they are empty inside.
*
Nothing of great historical importance has come from anyone who has settled. If ever there was a time in history to not to settle for anything but the best for all people, it is now.
*
Anything is possible, and when we believe it and live it, this thinking will manifest itself in everything that we do.
*
Never ever give up. Stay flexible and at the same time remain on task. Show what is possible by taking on the challenge.
*
It is my hope that you will not settle for anything less than what is possible. Take a risk. The biggest risk in accomplishing what you want in life is to not take a risk at all.
Let me know what you think.
Until next week, remember the only boxes that exist are the ones you create yourself.
