WAIT ON IT!!

So through my line of work, watching those around me, reading magazine columns, etc. I have observed something very disturbing....the misery of settling. What I mean is this, it seems as though when people settle, be it in relationships, careers, living arrangements, spirtituality, etc. they end up being very miserable. I am a firm believer of getting to the root causes of things, I do not believe that to find a solution to this settling epidemic that we can stay surface level so....here we go! I am saddened at the sight of watching my peers and even those significantly older than I settle for Mr. or Ms. "good enough" "right now""he got money""she can cook" "he may not want to work but girl he got that....!" NEED I CONTINUE! lol! It sounds funny but it is the truth being lived out daily by many. Sometimes people settle because waiting is just not an option when they are feeling lonely and abandoned by their so called version of "love". I have even witnessed those who have settled all the way to the altar only to find themselves a few years into the marriage "growing apart". It's not that they grew apart necessarily but I dare to say it's the corridor of a part of their heart that they covered with temporary infatuation, telling themselves that "love will come". But you see the mind does not do what the heart tells it and in time they find that although married Mr. or Ms. "right now" their hearts still long for the one who is "bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh." I see people settle into careers because of what family wants or for money sake and go to work miserable everyday, die before their time due to stress, and never understand the concept of getting paid for doing something that fulfills your God given purpose and that you actually love to do.  It's sad to say, but I see people settle into a comfort zone in their spirituality instead of accepting the challenge to go higher, pursue greatness, show others that there is a more excellent way, daring to stand up and say I'm not going to be and do the things that everyone else is doing because I have an appointment with purpose and a divine destiny that was put into place even before the foundation of the world! Or maybe the reason for settling is simply because many may not even know who they truly are so settling for "good enough" instead of receiving God's BESTseems perfectly appropriate to them? When you understand who you are, where you're going, and what your purpose(s) is in this cycled life, you will take to heart my favorite quote; "TO SETTLE IS TO SUFFER, AND TO SETTLE BECAUSE OF SUFFERING IS TO SUFFER IN VAIN!" What do you think?
