is it right to settle for less when you aspire for more

when it comes to ambition and money people are often critisized for wanting more and are seen as being motivated by greedy; not being content or appreciative of what they already have. But when it comes to relationships -like picking a life partner- is it right or wrong for wanting or expecting more out of a partner -in terms of attitude and character- you intend to spend the rest of your life with, instead of settling for less?

Alwaya a difficult one to balance I suspect? I could have advanced even nore than I did but I wanted time to spend on my voluntary and charitable side and get some kind of life satisfaction. I am glad I followed that direction.

Never settle for less than what you believe you deserve. When you settle for less you end up unhappy and those relationships usually don't work out. For instance, I have settled for less than I deserve and it end up in fights every time we were around each other. I was happier at work or alone with my children. Not a good life.

As for money and ambition. There's nothing wrong with wanting a comfortable life for yourself.
I don't wish to be everything to everyone but I would like to be something to someone. wink

Seize the day! Make the most of the present moment.
