Rule #4

Never Settle.

This might be the simplest, yet most difficult to comprehend of all the rules I've written for myself. Never settle. Sure, it sounds simple... Never be okay with just "OK". Of course we deserve the best. But we often forget to apply this to every single part of our life. Not just love. Not just your job. Not just your friends. Apply this to the smallest of things. Apply this "simple" rule to the things you use everyday like your car, your computer, your clothes, your hair, whatever.

Of course at a time when you are fighting off school loans and working for minimim wage, you might not be able to actually get the car or computer you might feel that you deserve. Of course, when you're in your twenties, you cannot expect to find the freaking love of your life when there is so much young to be had and so much life to be lived. It's okay to have a "mister right-now" and items in your possession to get you through day to day.

But what you need not lose is the view of yourself having the things, but most importantly, the life that you feel you should have. You must develop an image of who you want to be, what you want to have and who you want to have with you. You must have a realistic view of what you want for yourself, and never lose sight of that.

Once you lose that image of yourself, and you have no more intentions on changing that thing that you may just not be able to afford or have right now, you are settling. Never lose sight of who you can be, because there is always room for improvement. Keep moving forward, keep getting better. Accept what you deserve instead of settling for anything less than that.

And remember,
