Do you ever feel like you've "settled" for something less than you deserved? A job. A spouse. A car. A best friend. A vacation get away. Anything really.
Every now and then, I stop and evaluate where I am in life and overall, I have nothing to complain about. There are a couple of areas where I feel I've "settled" rather than holding out for what I deserve. I prefer to focus on what's good about my life but there are lessons to be learned from settling.
I'm in one of those reflective moods lately. I think it's good to reflect once in awhile and take stock of successes, failures, and where I am settling for something less. Where I am successful, I want to keep on that same path. Where I have failed, I want to learn from that situation to help me in the future. Where I am settling, I have to decide if I'm OK with that or if I want to make changes to correct the situation. It's not an easy thing to do. It is a necessary thing to do.
How about you? Are you "settling" for things in your life?
