If the cognitive construct defines “settling” for something not less than but more than, would you be settling if you were satiated? An interesting analysis of changing your mind, feeling better about your life, just by altering your outlook and seeing all as opportunity for advancement instead of simply, “settling for less than I deserve”.

When you settle for just a few times a month to see a special smiling face . . .

When you settle for receiving a call during the holidays instead of a visit . . .

When you settle for intimacy only when it is convenient for the other person . . .

When you settle for how inappropriate it would be to mingle families . . .

When you settle for a job that pays the minimum payment of all your bills . . .

When you settle for charm that has “ulterior motive-action” written all over it  . . .

When you settle for anything less than you truly deserve . . .a better place to live,

a more fulfilling career choice that is both lucrative and creative, insight for overall

improvement . . .

You now have realized that you never actually settled at all, just evolved . . . It is how you really see each presented opportunity. If it is ’settling’ for less than you would normally, with the economy as is, something is better than nothing.

Agree or disagree, that is the question ?

    I too “settled for” instead of “going after” many times in my life.

    The one I really want, well no, this one will do . . and only to discover much later in life in reality what an intuitive choice it was after all.

    Yes, we all do things looking very different in retrospect and in the final analysis can admit that we probably really never acted on our own . .
