If the chair is uncomfortable, find a new one.
If the book is uninteresting, quit reading it and toss it away.
If you don’t like what you ordered, get something else.
Settling is a habit that we get ourselves into. Settling does not occur sparingly – it’s not just about relationships, or classes, or traveling, or other worthwhile situations. We only find ourselves settling in the high risk situations because we settle for all the little things each day instead of changing them, redirecting, restarting, giving something new a try, or simply walking away.
When we land somewhere new, it’s sometimes a combination of anxiousness and excitement. When we settle somewhere, well, being drastic, we’re giving up.
Stay Positive & Never Give Up, Never, Never Give Up (HT to Chuck for teaching me this)
