Standards - Your Life Is Built by What You Tolerate

“Every standard you lower is a message to the world about who you are.”

📖 Story:

Before I understood respect, I used to think people deserved it because of the position they were in.

Bosses, masters, Gurus, all given respect without earning it, this led to me doing a lot of things without question.

But questions are the backbone of growth, so thankfully that changed.

Talking Points:

Standards are boundaries that define identity.

People and habits rise or fall to what you allow.

The silent message of your actions is stronger than your words.

Raising your standards often means losing comfort, and some people.

Action - “Raise One Standard”:

Pick one area where you’ve been letting things slide. Write the new rule and stick to it for seven days,no exceptions.

Closing Line:

“Your standards build your life. If you don’t decide what you’ll accept, the world will do it for you.”
