I never want to settle for less
I heard something today that I am going to make my own, and I invite you to do the same dear reader. Louie Giglio used the term nevertheless and broke it down into its component parts to read: I never want to settle for less. What do you think about this idea? It captured my attention and imagination because isn't this what we do, settle for less?
Mediocrity: an unpalatable word
Is something better than nothing for you dear reader? Did someone teach you that you had better settle because this is it, this is all you are going to get and why not accept it, even if it dulls your senses, mutes your powerful voice, stifles your creativity, slows your heart rate and all but kills your spirit? Are you settling for less? Is this your lot in life? Mediocrity. What an unpalatable word that leaves a wretched coating on the tongue. We take what we can get when we believe that we are unworthy of more. Less is easy, asking for more takes confidence and the boldness of knowing that nothing but the best is good enough for you!
Let's get down to business
Okay, enough of the pep talk. Let's get down to business. Choosing never the less is a big deal and it requires you to think and feel, and come up with words to describe what you are not experiencing in life. What is not there that is missing? Dare to think it and than to speak it out loud and next, tell someone close by. Be courageous now, tell the person sitting next to you, someone you are currently texting, a stranger standing in line... what is missing? Thinking it and then saying it, will help you long for it, whatever the "it" happens to be.
This is not an exercise in futility, it is meant to awaken in you desire, a rekindling of what may feel lost to you, perhaps buried or long dead. It you can resurrect, recapture, ignite the more you long for: you can start living again! Come on now, more is waiting for you. You have to get up and go get it.
Everyone is entitled to never the less
Here is a caveat: You must never ever get more for yourself at the expense of another getting less. You must never put yourself above another, their needs and wants, to satisfy your own cravings and desires. Everyone is entitled to never the less dear reader. Remember this: that fair is fair and all of your choices must be a reflection of this undeniable truth.
Never settle for less then what God wills for you, never.
