Settling is an ugly, depressing word.
We once settled out of court with an unhappy client. This person sued the business we owned for something we did not do, and we had video evidence that they were lying!
Our lawyer told us we could go to court, fight this and win but it will cost a minimum of five thousand dollars. That was a lot of time and money to fight something we were innocent of.
The other choice was to offer this con artist four hundred dollars to make them go away. It was clean, easy, and saved us a boatload of time, money, and frustration.
We decided to Settle, and there is not a day that goes by that I regret that decision! This person went on to do it to other people after us because no one made them accountable.
We ALL wanted comfort and ease.
What are YOU settling for in your life right now?
Have you Settled in a comfortable place in your relationships, weight, diet, work, finances or your own personal development?
One of the definitions of to Settle is: to seek, to be comfortable, to relax into a comfortable state.
Another way to say it is TO GIVE UP!
Let’s face it when we rationalize to ourselves to Settle what we are really saying is it’s TOO hard, and I want it to be easy.
Here are some signs that YOU are Settling for less in life:
- You are always tired and dragging your rear end, even when you get enough sleep.
- You keep saying “Manana” to delay starting and being uncomfortable.
- You blame other people and have become a victim.
- You constantly tell yourself “I can’t do that.”
- You read and talk about doing but never get around to doing!
- You are habitually late especially to work.
- You dislike people who are successful and talk bad about them.
- You are the King/Queen of making excuses so you can play it safe.
- The highlight of your day is TV, lunchtime or grabbing a drink at the end of the day.
- You are attracted to Drama: reading, watching, listening to and creating it.
Play the game of life to win. You will lose at times, but that’s part of the formula for winning.
