Accepting vs Settling

There is a difference in accepting and settling. Acceptance says, "I appreciate who I am and what I have." Settling says, "this is as good as it will ever get." 

Today, I will accept the good in my life while continuing to strive for more. 

(And as it turns out, there is so much good in my life that I can ride out the whole day just appreciating that fact. True story. I hope that anyone reading this will take a moment out of their own day and enjoy all the great that they have, too.) 

And smile. It gives your face something to do!
