Is Being Fine or Being Okay good enough

This is a line taken from the movie Hitch?

“What if fine isn’t good enough? What if i want extraordinary?”

I’ve spent my life never accepting that being fine is enough. I’ve strived to excel and I’ve strived to be happy. Some people settle for fine or just being okay because that is what they think life is all about. Eventually though, they will wake up one morning and wonder where life has passed them by, they will wonder where their best years have disappeared and they will make decisions that they should have made years ago. I have seen this happen time and again, and in particular to one of my very good friends. I never said anything to him until after he had made his decision but I always wondered how long he was going to accept things the way they were. He was in a marriage where he just existed, worked his butt off, never got any appreciation for everything that he did. Life was okay, but he was not happy. He finally did something about it and I have never seen him happier.

So if you do think that life is just okay, strive for more, KNOW that you deserve more and put things into motion to reach those goals, no matter how hard the first few steps might be. Don’t let guilt stand in the way of happiness. Everyone deserves to be happy.
