Don't Settle
August 12, 2009 by Ed McLaughlin
Not that long ago, I worked with someone who decided he no longer liked his circumstances. In what seemed like an instant, he opted to change the direction of his career.
I was impressed with the speed of his decision. “Why wait?” he said. “I’d rather do work that matters.”
He looked at me. “You can do the same thing.”
I knew what he was about to say.
“You don’t have to settle.”
He was right. And I didn’t. But far too many of us do. We decide to accept careers, projects, companies, and relationships that are “good enough.”
How do you avoid settling? Simple. It’s a choice.
