Have you ever figured what happens after someone settles? Many of us have a societal pressure to build a house, buy a car, make a family… and… what’s after that? Society often tells us what we should want and what is considered “normal” or “acceptable”. While it might be the goal for many, there are still a lot of us who wants to live for much more, for the memories we want to make in life, after all, that’s all we will have left once we leave this world behind.

The most common things people tend to do when they settle are:

• accepting a job that doesn’t fulfill them
• staying in a relationship that isn’t healthy
• or even just settling for a life that isn’t true to who they are.

Read that again, isn’t it scary to even think about doing that? But yet, there are many of us who are stuck in these situations. The good side is that, we still have the power to CHANGE it.

In life and in business, it’s important to remember that we are capable of achieving so much more than we give ourselves credit for. But to do that, we need to stop settling and start pushing ourselves to reach higher.

One of the most important things to remember is that our goals should be specific, measurable, and achievable. We need to know exactly what we want, and then create a plan to get there. This means breaking our goals down into smaller, more manageable steps, and working on them consistently over time.

Another key to success is to surround ourselves with people who will support and encourage us. Whether it’s friends and family, or a mentor or coach, having someone in our corner can make all the difference when it comes to achieving our goals.

It’s also important to remember that failure is a part of the process. We will make mistakes, and we will hit roadblocks along the way. But it’s important to pick ourselves up and keep going, because each failure is an opportunity to learn and grow.

In the end, it all comes down to not settling. Whether it’s in life or in business, we need to strive for more, and push ourselves to reach our full potential. With the right mindset, and the right support, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.

The truth is, settling is a choice, and it’s one that will keep us from reaching our full potential.
