12 Things you should never settle for in life

Published

on

You don’t have to settle, it’s simply a choice you make every day. Now is the time to reclaim your life and stop tolerating these things;

 

  1. People who bring you down. Relationships should help you, not hurt you. Spend time with nice people who are smart, driven and like minded.

 

  1. A work environment or career field you hate. Don’t settle on the first or second career field you dabble in. Keep searching, eventually you will find work you love to do. If you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don’t stop.  You are on to something big.

 

  1. Your own negativity. Be aware of your mental self-talk. We all talk silently to ourselves in our heads, but we are not always conscious of what we are saying or how it’s affecting us. Start listening to your thoughts.  If you hear negative thoughts, stop and replace them with positive thoughts.

 

  1. Unnecessary miscommunication. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Speak clearly. Ask questions.  Clarify things until you understand them.

 

  1. Tardiness. Get up some minutes earlier so you don’t have to rush. Those minutes will help you avoid speeding tickets, tardiness and other unnecessary headaches.

 

  1. Pressure to fit in with the crowd. Oftentimes, the only reason others want you to fit in is that once you do they can ignore you and go about their business. Don’t conform.  Be you, because that’s the only person you can be.

 

  1. An unhealthy body. Your health is your life. Eat right, exercise and get an annual physical check-up.

 

  1. Fear of change. Life is change. Every day is different.  Every day is a new beginning and a new ending.  Embrace it and make the best of it.

 

  1. All work and no play. Enjoy yourself and have a little fun while you can. If you’re smiling, you’re doing something right.

 

  1. Doing the same exact thing over and over again. You are the sum of your life experiences. The more you experience, the more interesting your life story gets.

 

  1. Greed. Don’t let greed and deceit get the best of you. Greed will bury even the lucky eventually.

 

  1. Dishonesty. Living a life of honesty creates peace of mind, and peace of mind is priceless. Don’t be dishonest and don’t put up with people who are.
