"Don't Settle for Less"
  by icnicn2004


Don't Settle for Less
July 13, 2008


I was in church today when I heard someone say Don't Settle for Less because that's not the way.

You have high standards…that shouldn't change.

Don't Settle for Less

Don't compromise what you know is right to be with someone…don't come down to someone else's level to meet their needs. They should be made to get like you…to meet you on your level.

Don't settle for less

I know what it is like to think you have found the one but when push comes to shove…you end up emotionally abused and even used.

Don't settle for less

I know what it is like to look for love in all the wrong places and get burnt. I know what it is like to use your body in ways you never thought you would to get attention.

Don't settle for less

Don't lie on your back and spread your legs to play horizontal polka in a bed that is uncomfortable with someone who is nameless and unfamiliar.

Don't settle for less

Don't let your penis think for you instead of relying on the brain that God gave you.

Don't settle for less

You may look for greener grass on the other side and find out that you made a mistake…a mistake that you can't take back.

Don't settle for less

You may be holding something priceless in your hands and give it up for a dime. You end up thinking darn if I could only turn back the hands of time.

Don't settle for less...you deserve the best
