Your Standards Raise em High

Your Standards Raise em High

"Never shall a synthetic fiber touch my skin." These have been the words of my father since he was a student. Even when he was poor and sinking in debt, he wore only highest quality clothing of the best materials. Now that he has risen to the top of his field, his high standards have become necessary and financially supported.

The best teachers have always taught us to set high standards. The greatest successes in the world, have lived by them. In the case of my father, his daring to have high standards provided the base for him to step up to a better life. Whether his standards brought his higher position or not, it certainly brought him into his power comfortably.

Raise the standards that reflect the style of your dream life. If you aim for a billion dollar fortune, then what will that money provide for you? If it means never having to work for someone else again- raise your standards now and go into business for yourself. If it means fresh flowers at your bedside, get them now, picking them yourself if you must.

Life will always fulfill your highest standards – often in unexpected ways. The moment I decided that I would always have fresh flowers in my home, a good friend dropped by with a bouquet from her garden. Hmmm.....now what’s a spectacular standard?

The greatest heights have always been achieved by those with the highest standards. When towering cathedral vaults were the pinnacle of architecture, someone cranked the standard even higher than physics could support- and the flying buttress was born. The standard set the elevation, and the means to support it was created.

The biggest lives and the greatest fortunes follow those who dare to speak "up". Can you imagine Bill Gates saying, "I'm afraid to expect more of myself, because what if I don't get it?"? He dared to set high standards for not only himself, but for the entire PC industry. Standards are not wanting or wishful thinking. Standards are behaviors that you hold yourself to when you expect the best for yourself. When you expect the best for yourself, you deliver it to yourself.

There is nothing holding you back from setting outrageously high standards for yourself. Nothing to stop you from raising the roof. Only your beliefs about what has been possible, what is appropriate, or what you think you deserve can cut you short. Know now, that these beliefs have nothing to do with what you can achieve. The only thing you need to raise the standard in your own life is your imagination. The courage to build a better life comes from dreaming- dare to dream high. Set an unequalled standard and inspire yourself.

How high will you dare to go?
