Don't Compromise

Live the Life You Really Want!

Do you know why you don't live the life you want to lead? Because you look for and accept things that take you farther away from your goals instead of bringing you closer to them. Don't compromise! Have the things you want and don't settle for less. If you do settle for less, then you can only blame yourself when you have less than you desire.

1. Career choices.

If your dream is to work within 15 minutes of your home then you should absolutely not apply for any job which is more than 15 minutes away. You cannot achieve your goal when you are doing things that go against the goal. If there are no jobs within 15 minutes of your home then you may want to consider moving. If you want to be a photographer then why apply for nursing jobs?

2. Relationship choices.

If your goal is to date women with a great sense of humor or a man who is dependable then don't date women who have no sense of humor or men who are not dependable. It's as simple as that. You cannot change someone. If you are with someone who is nothing like what you want then you are going to remain in a relationship with someone who is not the person you want. That will not change. Don't compromise.

3. Home choices.

If you are looking to buy a home with a spa tub then you have two options: Buy a home that already has a spa tub - or put one in. If you have carpet right now that you don't like and you want wood flooring but it's more expensive than you can afford right now, don't compromise and buy more carpet that will not make you happy. Keep the old carpet until you can afford the wood flooring.

This is not rocket science. Many of our goals are very simple. We only have to stop accepting anything other than what we truly want. We don't have to settle. We just have to be patient and wait for the right thing to come along. We are the only ones in control of our own lives. No one else can make choices for us. We are the only ones who know what will make us happy. We are meant to live a joyous life, not a mediocre life. If there is something you want then go for it. You just might get it. Don't compromise!
