The first reaction I get when I say "settle for less" is often "why that's so negative, I deserve more".
I think that reaction is because many people think settling is a bad thing. I looked up the definition of settle in the Cambridge Dictionary and this is what I found: to reach a decision or an agreement about something, or to end a disagreement; to arrange something; to relax into a comfortable position; to go and live somewhere, especially permanently; to move to a lower level and stay there; to pay, especially money that you owe; to become quiet and calm, or to make something or someone do this; to reach and remain at a certain level or in a certain state.
To me settling is about living in a relaxed comfortable position. Don't we all deserve to be relaxed and comfortable? I think we do!
