Alright, this little lesson about standards keeps appearing over and over these past few weeks, so might as well put it out here! Let's go! High standards are not about perfection or pressure BUT they are about respect! Respect for our time, our energy, and our potential. Some takeaways: 1.“Everything suffers by submitting to lower standards.” This is true for relationships, work, health, creativity, aaaand self trust. When we drop our standards, quality follows because we are asking less of ourselves than we are capable of. We are asking less of others too. High standards are a form of self belief that indicate that we matter, our efforts matter and that what we're building matters. The standards that we have for how we allow others to treat us/how we allow others in our lives point to the self respect that we may have. 2.“Don’t stray from your magnificence.” This is about alignment. When we lower standards to stay comfortable, to avoid conflict, or to move faster, we slowly drift away from who we know we could be. Grace is important too ❤️We are allowed to rest.We are allowed to stumble. We are allowed to be human. ******Grace is meant to support growth, not excuse stagnation. When grace becomes a way to stay mediocre, it stops being kind and starts being limiting. ********** Time plus consistency plus standards is a powerful combination. Most people quit not because the goal is impossible, but because they stop asking themselves to rise. We do this with others as well... High standards are not harsh/mean.They are a commitment to not abandoning yourself along the way ✨ *Video explains difference between standards and expectations. :) Shoutout to @John D , @Steve Webb and @Dan 'Remmy' Stourac for the writings, the conversations and the thoughtful reflections that inspired this little post.
