Standards

Much of the life we experience is determined by the standards we accept.

If the quality of our food, sleep, training, or communication is less than acceptable, and we accept it anyway, our quality of life is dimished.

We establish many of our standards before we even come into adulthood. We set and forget them because they were good enough at the time.

Standard bedtime routine or lack thereof.

Standard snacks on the countertops.

Standard response when someone says “how’s it going”.

Standard of procrastinating the most important tasks at this stage in life.

If we want more in life, the one way to guarantee it is to raise our standards.

Don’t try to change everything all at once. That’s an old standard.

List the changes you could make. Choose the one standard that if raised would most impact your life and the lives of those you serve.

Then hold that standard.

This is our life’s work.

Falling in love with this process is what brings about meaningful change in our world.

One standard at a time over time…

A long time.
