Are You Settling for Less than You Deserve?

I meet many people who, for some reason, don’t realise their full potential in their personal and professional lives.

It can be hard to leave someone and something we’ve known and feel familiar with but settling for less than we deserve isn’t an option for me. Why would anyone contend with the same if they know it doesn’t make them happy anymore? Sure, we must pay bills and keep a roof over our heads and sometimes a bad relationship is worth fighting for. But only if the other person’s willing to change and negotiate a better way to live together. People rarely admit they’re wrong and empty promises don’t improve things.

I’ve been in unhappy relationships and work situations. Let me tell you this, nothing changes unless you are prepared to make changes and get the life you deserve. I’ve met too many people who were too scared to move on, but were forced to because the other person left them. Don’t wait too long. I can assure you, life will pass you by and before you know it, your chance of happiness and fulfilment will too.

Is it better to stay where you are or to take a risk and find another job and person to love and share your life with? Absolutely. As long as you know you’ve done your best to work things out and there is no solution to the problem. One day you’ll look back and think about your life and choices and be happy you didn’t settle for less.

Life’s too precious to not get the best chance to live and love.

I am so pleased I’m surrounded by people who truly care for me and have my best interests at heart. Make sure you have real friends, not the kind who get in touch when they want something from you. Life’s give and take and getting the right balance is hard. Real fulfilment and happiness come from you and the people and things you love and enjoy no matter what goes on in the world.
