WHY DO YOU SETTLE FOR THE AVERAGE LIFE


You are living the life you decided to live. This statement might be very bitter to swallow for most people but, it is actually the truth. The fact that you don’t want to hear it doesn’t make it less true. Most people have consciously or unconsciously decided to settle for the average life and, strangely enough they are the first to complain about their life not moving forward. Things are never going to change until you make a conscious decision to make it happen. For those who are not happy to hear the above statement I am going to say this: if you don’t like something change it, take action to get what you want.

Most people live the life they hate, work the jobs they dislike, are married to people they despise and are friends with people they can stand just because they have convince themselves that they cannot live without these things and people. The kind of action you take is in direct alignment with your thinking. If you want to be a pilot and, you believe that it will take a long time and a lot of money you don’t have to achieve that goal, you will never take any action to make it happen because your mind has convince you that you cannot do it. You made the mental decision to give up on your dream because you think it is outside of your reach, therefore you will not take any action towards making it a reality.

You cannot make the decision to settle for an average life and be the first to complain because; complaining will not help you change it. The only way to refuse to accept the average life is to discover your true passion and actively pursue it to lead a fulfil life. The difference between those who lead a fruitful and successful and those who have a dull life is that the first group of people have made the decision to discover their purpose in life. Besides discovering their true calling, the successful people have decided to take action to have a life full of passion. Passion is developed when you are doing something you like, something that come natural to you. When you are doing something you like, you can only improve as you continuously do it. The success you are making through your actions is attracting even more success and making you in the process a success magnet.

Following from the above, it difficult to understand why people complain when they are responsible for the state of their affairs. If you are in a hot room with no air condition and you are feeling uncomfortable the most sensible thing you should do is to leave the room to get air outside. You will leave the room so you can breathe easier and be comfortable.  Unfortunately when you apply this example to most people life, they choose to stay in a very uncomfortable and sweaty room while complaining of the fact that there is no air condition. They consciously refuse to seek a more conducive environment and blame others to be responsible for their predicament. You have the option of choosing a better life, don’t settle for the average one but if you decide to do so don’t blame anyone for your average life.
