The Power of High Standards
What do you expect of yourself? Surely, you wouldn't settle for mediocrity. Setting a low standard yields minimal achievements and lacks the reward of true fulfillment. To become an exceptional individual, the bar must be raised to exceptional heights. Challenge yourself daily by elevating your minimum standards.
"But isn't such a standard impossible to meet?" you may argue with yourself or those around you. Disregard these internal and external critics. Hold yourself accountable and relentlessly pursue excellence with every moment you exist. As Vince Lombardi famously said, "Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence." Such pursuit far surpasses settling for mediocrity.
Within you lies untapped potential waiting to be unleashed. Without striving for excellence, you risk failing to unlock this potential within yourself and share it with the world.
