It's seems like in so many areas of life.....our lives in particular.... we settle for what life has given us. Maybe it's circumstances or environment, or maybe it's choices that have been made by us or others.
Hmmmm.....Seems like I've written about this before......
Maybe it's because certain areas of my life have been stuck in a rut, so to speak. I see the changes that need to be made, but I've slipped into the comfortable place of complacency. I like a routine in my life and when that routine is broken, I feel out of sync, a bit frustrated and a bit of an unhappy camper.
I plan the day with new expectations and fulfillment, but slide back into that routine where nothing seems to get done. I settle for another day of the same old same old, wasting another day of opportunities.
I settle..........
I have all the answers as to what needs to be done and what changes need to be made.....but, I settle.......
I blame it on old age or the woes of my body when it's racked with pain and depression......but, I settle.....
I could say that at times I'm just down right lazy.....but, I settle......
I'm settling for a life unfulfilled, a life where dreams are forgotten and plans are left behind.
But why....why do some of us rise above our expectations.....and some of us just settle?
As the song says, "I've Got a New Attitude".... that seems to be part of the answer. But the drive of the heart and spirit, the hard stuff, the getting out of our comfort zone and getting accustomed to being a bit uncomfortable, seems to finish the equation.
So as I write once again, I'm preaching to the choir and I'm the main soloist. It's time to get off of my butt, break my routine, and stop settling for a life of broken dreams and disappointments.
Will I succeed....
Or will I settle.....
What ever the outcome......it's all up to me......
and the Journey continues......

Although, I once did, I so rarely settle for anything anymore. In fact, I'm probably more of a spitfire, personality-wise, than I've ever been. People notice & had spoken of this 'change' in me. I gather some of them DON'T like it! Well, guess what? Too bad! Tuff toenails! I'm doing ME now!
I don't much like the reality that all our days are finite & numbered, but that's a brutal fact of life. So why ALLOW even one day to go by, unnoticed, unexperienced, unused, or to spend it unproductively?
That seems like the Biggest, Most Shameful Waste of Time, quite literally.
So get busy, Wynn! Begin to DO YOU & don't dare 'settle' unless that's your way for BEING WYNN!
