How often do we settle in life? How people treat us, how we treat ourselves, our aspirations? We are willing to settle with how our family treats us, because they are family, we are willing to feel negative about ourselves or what we deserve because we don’t love ourselves, and we give up on our aspirations because of the combination of the previous things feed into the core of what we believe we are capable of. Capable of better. Being treated better, treating ourselves better, wanting a better life for ourselves.

I live with intent. Try to anyway. Some days I fail. Some days I don’t really have a choice, there are set backs that come from beyond my control. I do not want to settle.
