Discern between accepting and settling. Accept what you cannot change, but never settle for anything below your standards.
When you settle for less than your standards, you allow yourself to lose integrity and you lose a piece of yourself every time. Simple math tells you that the more you’re not in integrity, the more you lose. Being out of integrity is very similar to your spine being out of its healthy alignment, or the alignment of your car being out of its proper settings. In either case, you (or your car) aren’t going to be able to operate at the optimum level when lacking integrity.
Those negative thoughts are not wasted. Use them to create alternative ways to viewing a situation. By taking up the challenge to reframe your thoughts and attitudes can lead to personal growth.
