There are so many different ways this title can be taken. It can be never settling on a person, on a job, on a life, or on oneself.
For me, it’s a general not settling.
I definitely agree don’t settle on someone. If I can’t see myself with someone in the future, the effort and heart isn’t worth it. I am a long term person, I want to cultivate relationships for time. I don’t do short term, short term relationships, short term friends. I want to be the type of person people think, ” we’ve been friends for so long and will be for more”.
I haven’t settle on a job. I love to learn. I think that’s one of my first loves and I haven’t given up on it. While I may not know what I’m doing at all in the future, I know that it’s not worth it to settle. Life is too short to do something I don’t love or doesn’t make me happy. We only have our one life and while we can do a lot of good, it’s uniquely ours.
I have tried to do what I felt in my heart was the right thing, even if it wasn’t the east choice.
What I have the most problem with is accepting, well maybe it can’t be any better and I should just settle. Whether it be, these pants fit okay, so let’s try it. That’s what inspired this story. I found three pairs of pants that were 70 percent what I was looking for, and I thought, “maybe it doesn’t get better than that” and I bought them. But then I just found two pairs, less expensive, which were 100 percent what I wanted and was looking for. And now I have five pairs of pants, three which are now dwarfed by the coolness of my two that fit like a dream. And now I sit wondering, “what do I do with them now?”So, I guess, if it’s not what I want, don’t do it. There will be exceptions I’m sure, but for sure with clothing if it’s not what I want, a million people make clothes, so go find what you want.
I know the perfect fit when I find it.
