Life Is Too Short. Why Settle When You Can Be More?

Many of us go through life just living.
 

We live a mundane life, just going through the day-to-day grind. Maybe we were once ambitious about our dreams and worked hard at them, but after so many failed attempts or so many harsh realities, we decided to settle. Or maybe we once believed in the impact that we could create through our lives, but after dealing with so many setbacks and challenges, we believed that we couldn’t. We believed that we were supposed to live a mediocre life and that was the end of the story.
 

Then, we settled.
 

And we have continued to settle. Too afraid to try. Too afraid to fail. And too afraid to believe anything otherwise. Does this describe you?
 

No offense, but settling, really sucks. I really started thinking about this the other and how so many of us just decide to take what life has given us, instead of believing that we can change what life has given us. We have the power to live the life that we have. We have the power to make an impact, to fulfill our dreams, and to be more than we are.
 

I mean, honestly, why settle when you could be more? Why settle when you only have one life to live? Don’t you think you should make the most of it while you are here? Don’t you think that you are here for a reason, for some larger purpose?
 

Gain the courage to start believing in yourself again. Believe in and go after the vision that you have for your life. Be bold enough to tell yourself that you aren’t going to settle and that you want to reach and become everything that you were created to be. Believe in the vision for your life with every fiber in your being.
 

Never settle and never allow yourself to think that you should settle. When you believe that you can become more, that’s when you will. You just have to make a decision about what kind of life you want to live.
