STOP SETTLING FOR LESS THAN YOU DESERVE

 Why do you think that there are many people out there who are willing to settle for less than they deserve in their life?

Stop Settling For Less Than You Deserve – LOLA UNCORKED

Some people accept to stay in abusive relationships or work that doesnot inspire or motivate them to work harder than they could.

Why do they accept less than they actually deserve? One of the things that hold human beings behind in life is what is called fear.

The fear within these people is far much greater and stronger than their own power. This fear keeps them stuck in places where they do not deserve to be.

They keep accepting to live below what they are capable of achieving in their lives. These people do not know what it feels like to do work that you love, if they could just have a taste of what it feels like to do work that you love then they will be willing to do that kind of work even without pay.

According to Kahlil Gibran who wrote a very brilliant book called The Prophet, if you cannot be able to work with love but only with distaste, then it is better that you just leave your work and then sit at the gate of the temple and take alms from the people who work with joy.

If you do not love crushing grapes, you will end up distilling poison in the wine. If you know what it actually feels like to do work that you love, then you will know that this is not an exaggeration in anyway.

If you do work that you do not like, you will end up poisoning others and if that is the only way you can work, then it is better for you to actually do nothing.

If you meet your needs by asking for hand-outs, then you will not be poisoning others with the fear and resentment that has engulfed you.

Do not settle for less than what is your worth.  Demand of yourself that you are going to do work that you love or else there is no deal.

 Demand for yourself that you are not willing to settle for a mediocre relationship. Seek better relationships full of joy, love and happiness.

The negative emotions that you have are not there to actually annoy you or even distract you but they are there to remind you that this is wrong and you should find something else. 

Instead of trying to run away from those negative feelings of fear and resentment, you need to engage them head on, start a dialogue with them.

You should tune in and then listen to these negative feelings as deeply as you can . You are not here to settle or just fit in.

Neither are you here to work for money but you are here to shine. And if you are not in a position where you are able to truly shine today, then you should simply just get up and leave right now.
