Remove the temptation to settle for anything short of what you deserve

Is it your mandate to "settle?"  Do you hold yourself back, put others first, devalue your opinion, manipulate the facts to support why you should stop what you are doing and retreat?

I would guess not -- at least not intentionally or to the degree that you out-and-out decide to settle.

Can it be tempting?  Absolutely!  Sometimes even running in full retreat may sound like a great and welcome temporary escape.

Moreover, there's something to rebounding from a "What the hell just happened" make-it-happen moment.  You bounce back with a fresh perspective!

What if you remove all temptation to settle for anything short of of what you deserve?

What if you upgrade your mandate in life to include a "put yourself first" focus?

If you are confident that you have done the work, know what you want, and deserve that chance or opportunity -- why settle?

Funny, no good reason comes to mind!
