Settle for More

by Megyn Kelly

If Dad was disappointed in us, we felt shame deep in our souls, and if Mom was mad, we felt it somewhere else.

The test of strength is not avoiding emotional distress; it’s functioning in the face of it.

However low you are, there is always something to feel proud of, and however high you are, there is always something to humble you.

To this day, I believe planning out confrontations in detail is key. It prevents regrets in the moment (e.g., your temper getting away from you) and lets you control the exchange.

standing by your principles is always the right call, even when dealing with people in positions of power.

The harder you work, the better attitude you have, the more your colleagues come to feel they need you, the greater job security you earn, and the more risks you can take.

“The only difference between you and someone you envy is, you settled for less.”

“Winners take responsibility. Losers blame others.” It’s not just about saying the words. It’s about actually doing it.
