Life is difficult. Nothing comes to you the easy way. Circumstances have eventually shattered you. And with all those sharp piercing pieces beneath your feet, you are walking the journey of your life all alone. You never wanted to settle for less, but now you are used to surviving with the mundane. But, have you ever tried to look towards the positive side?
Maybe, you underwent all those difficulties for the sake of learning some really significant life lessons. Maybe, it was a chapter to remember. Maybe, it was an indication for you to never settle for less in life. But, you misinterpreted the circumstances. You gave up on your hopes. And never thought of finding the things you deserve! But, my dearest, you deserve to be loved with the whole heart, you deserve to be supported with the whole heart and you deserve to fly high with all your wings.
If the things you do are not making you happy, if circumstances are not letting you express gratitude, if you are not thankful for the life you have been given, pay clear attention to these words - You are settling just for anything in life. You are not taking the required steps to make your life worth living. You are not where you want to be. You are doing things that might interest others, but not you. However, you should just never settle for less in life. Life is actually too short to keep procrastinating. So, do not just breeze through it by settling for the minimums. And you just get one chance, YOLO, right?
Therefore, it is important for you to not limit yourself due to societal pressures or your own shortcomings. You can easily do the things you really love to do, no matter what they are and no matter what amount of risk gets involved. It is a fact; you cannot stop from outgrowing your previous self. You can never stop improving yourself. Changes naturally occur with time. And nothing here that I said is unrealistic. These are very much real talks and such a life definitely exists. Life is unpredictable, negative circumstances get in your way, things happen, curveballs are thrown at you, but that does not mean that you are not allowed to live your life to the fullest potential. Happiness is something that should keep you going and not let you settle for less. Happiness is a product of not perfection but the progress that will help you in reaching the 9th cloud. So, my friends, for the sake of maintaining your own life quality, take a pledge and set a standard for yourself. Know what you deserve and refuse to accept the substandard.
Humans have a tendency to come to terms with their dissatisfaction because of one or the other reason. We constantly keep (although we should never) settling for less in life. But, always remember, once you start making decisions based on your desires and the things that you deserve, you will automatically feel the difference. And this way, you will also oppose the need to just settle for what comes your way and start fighting for the things you actually need.
#1. Never Settle Just For Anything - Embrace The Change
Change is the only constant and it is a part and parcel of everyone's life. Therefore, embracing the same should always be your agenda before setting any other priorities. When you are ready to accept changes, you are also ready to never settle for less in life. You make sure that no stones are left unturned. And also take those efforts wherein you are able to convert even the impossible into possible.
However, humans are in a habit of holding onto things that pull us back. But, it is only our choice to either accept life as it comes to us or simply dump the current circumstances and fly high. When you are sticking on to the things that do no good to you, it is a straight indication of someone who is low on confidence. But, when you have the capability to turn your lows into highs, it speaks of your true character. Therefore, just filter out the inferior stuff from your life and start making way for the change that brings in positivity.
#2. Perfection Should Be Aimed For!
Even if it is not possible to achieve the perfect, you should still take that step. No matter where you land, it will still be somewhere near to that level. Never ever give up in the pursuit of attaining the life you assume to be absolute and satisfying. Setting higher standards will only help you reach to those greater heights. Just imagine the case when you actually reach that level. Wouldn’t that be so comforting? But, in this process, also make sure that you even reward yourself for each of the accomplishments. Aiming for the perfection is highly unattainable, but even in the chase; we can at least catch hold of excellence. And to never settle for less in life, this is all you need to do.
#3. Get Used To Expressing The Things You Desire
In fact, do this pretty often! Express what you desire and keep repeating the same. No one really can get something if he/ she is not passionate about it. Plus, you need to determine and accept what you want from your life. Communicate it to others around you if they are to be involved in one way or the other. Also, keep saying the same to yourself, so you are always reminded of what path needs to be taken. Talk to your friends or family members about what you want to achieve. Ask for help in case you think they can. Start taking baby steps and try reaching what you desire. Essentially, you need to let the universe take note of what you are communicating so it can strongly support you back.
#4. Stop Rationalizing The Behavior Of Others
No, you just don't have to do that. You do not have to put forward any kind of excuses relating to others for bringing down your personal performances. Do not let her/ him expect too much from you just because they had a bad and hard life. You are not accountable towards their conditions. You are responsible only for your own happiness and adjustments. Do not settle for anything if that does not let your mind stay at peace. Rather than rationalizing, make sure to speak to those people about the things that are bothering you. And if these people who are close to you are in a habit of invalidating your opinions, just because you let them do that, remember you are not chasing what you deserve. You are being chased by the things you should not be valuing.
#5. Improvements Are A Must
By this, I don't mean that you should focus on improving your social status or your appearance. No, you don't have to be self-critical and be harsh to yourself. You were not made perfect and it is okay. But, you can at least try to improve your characteristics and your attitude. Start believing in your identity; find a company that builds you up, network with people who believe in not losing hope. Eat healthily, exercise daily, meet new people and value the existing ones. You were made hyper-aggressive because that is uniquely you. You just have to positively use that trait. You have dimples not because they disturb your looks, but because God wanted you to have them. Each and every trait that you have makes you hundred percent you! So, never settle for anything in life but reach for the stars.
