At one point or another, we all have likely felt we could be doing more with our lives.

Whether it’s with your job, your health or your romantic life, there are almost always areas that we aren’t giving our best efforts to.

But how can you tell that you’re settling and not living your life to its fullest potential?

1. You’re Bored

A life without passion is not living, it’s merely existing” — Leo Buscaglia

If you’re not excited about anything in your life, then there’s a high likelihood you’re settling.

You need something to look forward to every day, otherwise you’ll just be going through the motions.

Without a passion, life is black and white. With a passion, it’s technicolored.

It doesn’t even matter what the passion is. It can be a hobby, a side hustle or volunteer work. If it excites and fulfills you, it’s good for you.

Nobody can be expected to be ecstatic for every moment or event of the day.

But we are must remember how fortunate we are to live in a world where we have more access to information, connections and productive activities than any time in human history.
