Why You Shouldn't Settle... Ever

Inspired by a newly formed friendship

After a booze-induced conversation around the thought of, "Why settle?" I realized a lot of people don't understand this concept. Fortunately, depending on your perspective, I've made enough mistakes for a lifetime worth of explanation of why settling is worse than Sunday TV shows (football aside).

We all know at least one person who makes you think "WTF!?" in regards to some aspect of their life.... it could be their significant other, their job, their house, pet, lifestyle, hairstyle...
Either way you look at them and wonder what the hell they're thinking.  They're just settling for the comfortable, easy route.

The funny thing is this is such a simple issue... why in the world would you settle for anything less that what you consider to be perfect for you?  Life is too short... and the greatest thing about it is that it's completely in your hands.

If you know you have the potential to work somewhere great, then do it!  Who cares if the job market sucks right now? It'll change.

Don't settle for friends or relationships that aren't good for you and that you don't see as perfect for you.  What's the point of putting up with someone or tolerating a friend you can't stand?  To be blunt (as shocking as that might be) it's simply not worth your time!

If your job isn't right for you, you're going to hate it all day every day until you do something and change it.  If you don't love where you're living and it doesn't feel like home, move!  If what's-her-face makes you want to jump off a 10-story balcony it isn't worth it. 

While we're on this note... you'll make yourself clinically insane if you live trying to make other people happy.  Focus on your own happiness and everything else will fall into place.

Trust me, if just this once.  Why settle for less than perfection and bliss?
