Raise my Standards

Some people have the problem that they are never, ever happy because their standards are so sky-high they are completely absurd. I have the opposite problem; in the past, I’ve had such a low opinion of myself that I settled for whoever and whatever came my way and never thought I had a right to ask if there was anything better out there for me.

Not that I won’t take anything less than perfect, but I think I sell myself short when I don’t try harder to get the best that I can get. It’s like I don’t think enough of myself to reach for anything better than the easiest thing to grab. I am worth it and I need to start treating myself like it.
