Never Settle

People settle for mediocrity in many aspects of their lives daily. We accept jobs we hate, we deal with friends who let us down and we let our significant others get away with shut. Why do people choose to be complacent instead of moving where there are better opportunities? The way out of lukewarmness starts now. The first step to take will be to break camp, pull up stakes, and refuse to settle any longer.

People are terrified of change, failure, and taking risks. This is one of the main reasons people settle in life. It’s not about unrealistic goals or perfection. It is about changing the things you can to be happy, not simply drifting along in life and complaining. It is far easier to settle than it is to leave our comfort zone. We create endless excuses to justify our complacency and all that it will result in is our looking back with regret and a slightly bruised ego, wishing we hadn’t settled.

As technology evolves, our levels of patience have been dwindling. We lack fortitude as a society and unfortunately make the mistake of choosing the first option presented to us. Some people are tired of dating or being alone, so they pick up the first person that says the right thing. It takes time, effort, and patience to find the right person. This also applies to life goals such as embarking on a new career path. Things worth having take a lot of time and effort, which many people do not want to exert either.

People are lazy; they don’t want to have to make too much of an effort even though they are unhappy in their present situation. They lack the confidence, ambition, and drive necessary to succeed. Many times, people get so frustrated with life that they feel that settling for something will create the happiness they desire. People will constantly complain about their present situations but will do nothing about it. They have to want to change these things.

Life is way too short to settle for anything less than what we truly want. The only way to embrace your potential is to stop settling. We are only limiting ourselves and wasting our precious time. The moment we begin to settle in the most important roles of our lives is the moment we begin to die a slow death. Excellence is a place where people who refuse to settle for mediocrity life; it is where one reaps from all the hard work.

The team would refinish the floors and they would look good for maybe a few weeks,” says Hurlbut. “After that, they looked like we had never touched them. It was demoralizing for our team members who worked so hard at restoring and maintaining them.”

Greg Holder, from The Genius of One, Advent Conspiracy, and The Voice Bible, reminds us of the call to never settle by sharing the way out of lukewarmness, helping us see how our everyday decisions, habits, and relationships have incredible potential for world-changing, redemptive impact. Winsome, challenging, and practical, Holder offers a fresh vision for the Church: to be soothingly hot and thirst-quenchingly cold. To boldly follow Jesus into the world dripping with Christian compassion.
