Why Settle

So, I have come to the conclusion that I have to stop settling... Can that truly be done??  I was talking to one of my closest friends and we realized that we seem to just settle.... I asked myself why?? Why do I settle for less than I deserve?? Is it because I have the "gene" that tells me that it's not right to not settle?? Or is it that it's easier to settle than to have to actually wait for the right thing to come my way??? Or am I just tired of not seeing anything that I truly like and just go for the most convenient one?? It's funny, when you start making a list of all the things that you settle at it truly does become unsettling...lol...

For me it started with people.. To begin with, I was settling because I wanted to be accepted and to have others understand me.. It sounds simple enough, but when you start to really dig deep and see why was it that I settled for ordinary it does start to bother me... Even in the dating life we start to just settle because we are tired of the dating routine... It's true... Look at your life... At any time in it did you settle?? Why did you settle?? Sometimes we settle because of loneliness, acceptance, want some sort of adult conversations, or just plain tired of the same monotonous life that we lead...

I think that part of me also settled in the daily life.. I follow the same routine over and over.. Scared of trying or starting something new.. As I begin to realize that it happens, I have to stop and see if what I am doing is what I truly want... I do say to myself if I quit settling then what I truly want should come my way... It's something that we all need to learn to do.. NOT SETTLE!! Let what we are supposed to have come our way in it's due time... Letting yourself not settle make you a little stronger.. It's like you feel that there is something inside you telling you "watch out, your about to settle"... Once you start paying attention to that voice you react and move forward... Never looking back...
