There's one word we hear all the time. One word that has the power to change our perspective and sometimes our lives. That one word is settle. That's right. In court, before the trial of some cases, the victim might decide to settle – take what is being offered and move on. Nothing remains the same ever again.
Coming down to our individual lives, we settle more than we know, sometimes unconsciously. But here, I'm focusing on our goals and achievements in life. The things we wish to do but end up never doing them, not because we don't want to, rather because we lack the motivation and decide to settle. Sometimes we hide behind our desire for simple life. We convince ourselves that we want it low and small. But is that really the case?
Are you afraid of your own success?
It may sound a little funny. I mean, there isn't a way one can possibly be scared of succeeding, but in the actual sense of it, it's very possible. We take one look at this milestone we set for us and the fear won't let us do anything about it. We then tell ourselves that we do not really want that. We remind ourselves how simple and ordinary we've always wanted things right from the beginning. We settle
Some will say that success comes with trial and they are right. No matter how solid the goal is, we still have to try it out. How would we know if it will click when we are too scared to actually put the plans to work? Get up and dust your self. That success is waiting patiently for you.
