An Excerpt from "WTF Is Settling Is Bullshit"
Bullshit: “to talk nonsense to, especially with the intention of deceiving or misleading” – and in the context here, we’re talking about deceiving oneself or others into believing in the lie of settling.
Settle has a lot of definitions, but on this blog, we’re essentially using this one: “to move to a lower level and stay there; to drop.”
​
Settling is making concessions to your innermost desires. It’s saying, “I don’t think I can do/get/be better than this, so I guess I’ll just stay here.”
​
Settling is accepting less than you deserve, less than the universe has in store for you.
​
Settling is sinking instead of continuing to swim even though you can’t yet see the shoreline.
​
Settling is giving up (on yourself).
​
Settling, my friends, is bullshit.
​
You deserve better. You deserve more. You deserve the love and success and maturity and healthy ways of being that your higher self is striving for.
​
And good enough is what will get you there.
