Don't Settle for Less.....

So, has anyone ever told you to never settle for less?  Did you actually listen to what they were saying or paid attention to the circumstance?  At some point in time you have heard or read a message board telling you to never settle for less.  The key is finding that area in your life where you know that you are just settling and not pushing yourself.  Maybe it's in your relationship with friends or a significant other, or its your job/work.  Somewhere we know deep down that there is an area in our life that we are settling.  An area that we aren't stretching ourselves into those uncomfortable feelings and having faith and knowing our self worth.

Lately I have been stretched out of my comfort zone and during the moment it felt uneasy.  But afterwards I felt this new strength that wasn't there, this new confidence that wasn't there.  Then, I asked myself was the strength and confidence always there but I just kept it buried?  For me the question was yes, and now I know what area(s) I was settling, and now that I have been stretched and came out with more strength and confidence I will no longer settle in that area of my life.  Is there an area in your life that you know you can stretch a little more and not just settle?
