Raising Your Standards
When you make a decision that you want to change your life for
the better – better health, better relationships, better finances, you need to
take action and RAISE your own standards. If you want to improve your life and
get different results from your actions, you actually have to change what you
do, and how you do it. As Albert Einstein defines it, “Insanity is doing the
same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
Only when you change the way you treat yourself, you will
start paying more respect to the person in the mirror. How do you start the day
– do you greet yourself with a smile, looking forward to what you will achieve,
or do you get out of bed with a frown and walk the walk of the doomed?
If you don’t think your body is in the shape and fit you
deserve, how can you start changing that? Would you spend the evening on the sofa with a
bowl of chips, or would you say: “enough is enough – I’ll go for a walk and
have a nice salad for dinner”?
If the kind of relationships you attract are not enriching you
and bringing out the best in you, and your partner, why wouldn’t you make a
list of what you actually want and deserve?
Whatever areas of your life you want to improve, if you want
anything to change, you have to raise your standards right now!
So take a moment, make a decision and prepare your lists on:
1 - Things you will no longer tolerate in your life
2 - What you expect of yourself and what you will do
instead (instead of No.1).
Make a list of ten items, and start acting on them. In two
weeks increase to 20, and start implementing the changes.
Because the small steps you take today, the humble, or more
brave, degrees you start raising your standards by, will multiply the results
month by month, year by year. Think of the amazing outcomes you will have
achieved in 10 years! All starting with a small list of ten items – ten things
you will no longer tolerate in yourself, and TEN that you aspire to.
