So, what’s important to you – your lifestyle, spiritual life, material gains, your contribution to society, your relationships and emotions? The world conspires to treat you at your existing Daily Standards. That’s why you are where you are. Adjusting your Standards is like changing the set of your sail. It can take you somewhere else, and quicker!
Long-term personal goals assume you’ll be here in the long-term to enjoy the fruits of your labours. What if you’re not? Then you would have spent the majority of your life living as NonSelf, only to miss the big prize. There is something inherently wrong with an approach that has you losing all your todays just so you can shout ‘bravo’ when you hit a goal some day in the future – that’s assuming that you do hit it. I prefer to shout ‘bravo!’ and punch the air daily as an expression of my ongoing daily success and happiness, living as me, at my Daily Standards, as my TrueSelf. Wouldn’t you?
Daily Standards changed every part of my life – immediately. Do you get it? What Daily Standards do you live by? What Standard could you set or raise and see immediate change? Choose one area of your life and set a new higher Standard in that area. Then watch how everything changes as you live by that Standard today, and then one day at a time.
