Don’t settle!

 

Don’t settle for less than the best. What do I mean by that? Well, what I really mean is don’t settle for less than the best for you. There are several reasons I believe this this to be true.

One of the big reasons we shouldn’t settle for less is because we won’t end up being satisfied. We’ll be regretful. I believe if we make a purchase, or make a choice knowing that we could have done better, we’ll always walk away disappointed. That’s a recipe for a milk toast existence.

Also, when we settle, it leaves us not striving for the best outcomes. When we stop striving for the best outcomes we stop moving forward in life. This is why every time an athlete steps out on the court, or on the field, they have to give their best effort. Otherwise, they might never win. Winning isn’t the only important thing. But moving forward is important. Winning is just one measure by which we can tell if we’re moving forward. No matter how good we are, we can still get better. Imagine if a coach said to just go out there and just do “good enough”. That would be pretty absurd. A coach’s jobs is to get you to give your best effort.

When a new business is started, they’re always planning and building for growth. If a new business is started it’s never with the intent of having only just enough business, or just a good enough product, or just good enough customer service. If you’ve ever read a company’s mission statement it always aspires to be something more and to achieve the highest ideals. It’s certainly true for companies that are publicly traded on the stock exchange. Shareholders have a way of holding them to the goals they strive to achieve. Every 90 days they have to put out an earnings report and investors find out whether or not they are measuring up to those goals. Investors don’t invest in a company because they think it’s just good enough. Companies, like many things, end up dying if they’re not moving forward, expanding, and reaching new goals. It’s the striving for excellence that propels them forward.

Just getting by doesn’t usually produce attractive outcomes. We generally don’t think about it that way, though. We can easily get trapped in a ‘just get by’ way of thinking. One major reason is fear. It can take courage to strive for something more and set goals that might challenge us. In fact, I wouldn’t say that failure is the enemy of success—mediocrity is. A goal to achieve success will inevitably involve failure at some point. So, it’s about having the courage to move forward and not being afraid of failure.

 

…Let’s go deeper

 

 

 

We should also not settle for less than our best effort in whatever task we undertake.

The best version of your life is God’s will for you. He created you to live a good life, striving for a higher level of life in Him. And, also, shaping you into something more than you ever realized you could be.

AV John 10:10 says, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.” God has made it clear in His word that He wants to give us a greater life than we could have by ourselves. The highest level of life is in knowing Him and living a life according to His word. Jesus’ death on the cross was the way He has provided that life for us.

Moreover, go with Kamagra order to order cialis super viagra as per your requirement. Keeping His word ever before us helps us to achieve the life He has for us. AV Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” God’s word not only keeps us on the right path, but provides a way for us to produce the best outcomes in our lives. Following it not only protects us, but keeps us pointed in the right direction towards a better life. The one He has planned for us.

AV Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” The plans God has for us are meant with a future, and an end, that God has in mind for us. The plan may not always make sense to us. But part of striving and moving forward towards success involves just trusting that He knows what He’s doing.

AV Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” So much of achieving all that God has for us involves just trusting Him. We can’t move forward in Him if we don’t trust Him. This is a process. But eventually, we grow and learn to trust Him and His way of doing things.

AV Psalms 31:14-15 says, “But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God. My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.” What I like about these verses is it reflects a person who has learned to trust God. He says, “My times are in thy hand.” He’s saying that God has his future in His hands, and that’s just the way he likes it.

God guiding us and directing us towards the life He has for us is the best place we can be. He knows the best path for us to take and how to get to the end result. We’re settling when we allow anything less in our lives.

AV John 10:10 says, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.”

AV Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

AV Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

AV Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

AV Psalms 31:14-15 says, “But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God. My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.”
