The topic of “not settling” keeps coming up in my conversations with coaching clients and friends.
So many of us settle for something less than what we really want. At some point – we all have settled – whether in a romantic relationship, a friendship or in a work situation. I certainly have! Though, I didn’t always know I was settling, at the time.
I think “settling” occurs for many reasons. It happens when we don’t believe in ourselves, or when we don’t feel worthy or don’t feel we deserve something better. Or we want to play it safe, not rock the boat or want an easy way out. Or we have a deep fear that we can’t have what we really want.
We settle when we don’t respect our own needs and wants. We settle when we don’t love and care for ourselves as much as we love others.
Whatever your situation, you don’t have to settle. You always have a choice.
You don’t have to stay in a stressful job that sucks the life out of you.
You don’t have to stay in a relationship that has lost its magic.
You don’t have to be friends with people who don’t have your back.
Start making choices that reflect what you truly want. Once you do, you’ll feel good. You’ll feel happy and at ease and new opportunities will come your way.
Embrace What You Really Want.
Embrace What You Believe In.
Embrace Your Badass Self.
If you don’t, who will? Come on, I dare you.
