Although I’ve come to a point in my life where I know I deserve the “better” things that life has to offer, I must admit that I have occasionally “accepted” and made “excuses” for actions that I felt were unfair to me.  

You see, sometimes in life we tend to lose focus of what’s important to us.  The goals and dreams that we have set out for ourselves.  Our morals and values.  We set out specific standards for ourselves and for some reason or another, we give way to allow something or someone to come in between. All of a sudden, our standards begin to lower.  We start to settle. 

When it comes to life, love and relationships, we all should already know what we’re looking for and why. What type of partners we want.  The older we get, the more we learn to deal with change, and things not going quite as expected.  But the thought of having to adjust, settle and/ or lowering our standings in order to please someone else just to make him/ her happy,  should never be of a necessity.  Besides, someone that truly cares for you would not want you to give up your personal standards in order to prove your love or devotion to them.
