Why Your Standards Determine Your Future
Every relationship you have accepted, every situation you have stayed in, every treatment you have absorbed — these are not accidents. They are the direct expression of what you genuinely believed you deserved at the time. Your standards are the invisible architecture of your life. And they can be changed.
There is a principle that sits at the foundation of personal development that is rarely stated as plainly as it deserves: the quality of your life is determined, more than by any other single factor, by the standards you hold for it. Not your goals — goals are what you aim for. Standards are what you will and will not accept. And the gap between those two things is where most people's lives stall.
