"Don't settle for average. Bring your best to the moment. Then, whether it fails or succeeds, at least you know you gave all you had. We need to live the best that's in us"
-Angela Bassett
How does this quote resonate with you?
Pause right here... take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
What are you settling for?
... think about it... dig deep.... stay here until you have an answer...
What does your best look like?
... visualize that person... their thoughts... energy... posture...
How are you showing up?
... be honest...
Folks, we’ve got to do better... No more settling, playing small. What you tolerate becomes your standard.
3 Reasons Why you should Raise Your Standards:
1. Holding yourself accountable to operating at a level north of your current comfort zone, you push towards a level of commitment that will propel you towards improved performance.
2. The process is more important than the result. Re-defining higher individual standards should be about developing the discipline to establish behavior habits for sustainable long-range success.
3. Your reason must be meaningful and personal. We all need something that propels us towards our vision despite all odds. Want better standards, start with a goal that is so personal and daring that it will excite you for years to come.
How will you level-up?
Author Gay Hendricks offers these questions to ask yourself:
What grand goals would inspire me every minute of every day?
What would I do with my life if I were playing full out?
If I were thinking big...and even bigger than that...what dream would I commit to fulfilling?
Affirm today: I am naturally driven to pursue big ideas and take big action and will continue to do so.
Live your best life... bring your best self to every moment! Be intentional and watch what happens... Encourage others to do the same.
