Self improvement
Raising your standards means to set up the value for how you are treated in this world.
You determine what you are willing to accept from people, and they treat you according to the expectations you determine.
If you don’t set standards for what you are willing to accept, the world will set those standards for you.
How do you raise your standards?
- By not accepting your limitations. Raise yourself to a level that challenges you in every area of your life.
- Doing the work that is difficult but extremely rewarding. Surround yourself with people who have a higher skillset or make 10x more money!
- Avoiding excuses from yourself and staying away from complainers.
- Make friends with people who challenge you and raise you to their level, where the winners are.
- When most people say NO, you are saying YES . Where 99% fail and give up, you are the 1% that pushes forward.
“Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change”.
