Settling

There was absolutely no sunrise this morning. It was complete cloud cover. Not even an inch of sunlight streaming through. In fact, the whole day has been like this: grey. We have to settle for grey today. It's not our first choice but it's the hand we're dealt so we deal with it.

Perhaps the instances in our lives where we have to settle for what we don't want help to define what we really want. Perhaps in having to handle circumstances that are less than what we desire, we learn to get clear on what we really want. In a sense, settling isn't such a bad thing unless it becomes chronic. If you constantly cut yourself short of what you actually deserve then you will ultimately block the reception of what you really want. You have to admit when you have what you really want and when you don't and then act accordingly.
