High Standards


I look up to so many people for so many reasons.  One main reason is that those people who inspire me and amaze me have done things with love and perfection.  They have set the bar high and they themselves look up to other people who are even better than themselves for motivation and inspiration....

We generally know what is "good" and what is "bad".  What feels good and is correct to do vs. what feels good but is bad because it can affect others or our environment. 
If someone has a pit and starts a fire, staring at the fire for reflection, thought and enjoying the warmth of it is something that feels "good" and "correct" but if that person starts a random fire for the sake of fun and without thinking of the destruction that is "incorrect" and "bad", it really won't allow for reflection and enjoyment.  Every action requires knowledge, reason and perfection.

Therefore, we must understand our responsibilities in anything we do and we must try our best to attain perfection in anything and everything we do.  This will save us from error, having to repeat the action and creating healthy habits that make life easier and more enjoyable.

Let's keep our standards high and learn from those who have succeeded in aspects of life and take from them lessons that we can incorporate into our lives. 

1. Make a prayer for what you want to achieve-be specific to excel in that area
2. Find the BEST teachers, even if they are friends or family members, those who are excellent in their field (a field we may want to improve in)
3. Gather information as to how and why the person has done things a certain way and what worked best for them
4. Take action-take small steps to achieve or get close to achieving or improving those personal goals.
5. Do not let Anything or ANYONE tell you that you "can't" succeed!

keep standards high!
