Hold Yourself to Higher Standard, it requires Discipline
It is such an irony, the way we live.
We have grown over the years to expect certain things from some folks in our lives and when we don't get them, we make a fuss, take decisions, quarrel and air our disappointment.
Yes?
I've done that too.
"Peter, is there anything wrong with that?"
Not really.
Where I have a problem is when we place such high expectations of others and don't do so ourself.
When you make a commitment to read, start out that business, go to school, intern, attend a training or work out and you don't get to do it; what do you usually do? Excuse yourself? Well, it's the weather, it rained. I did not feel like reading or going for that training or buying that material.
Yes, many of us go that route. Many others even forget they made such commitments. This is what separates the highly successful from others. They hold themselves to higher standards. You miss a goal and TV is off for three days. No snack. No outing.
Success requires discipline.
Personally, I have cut down social media time, turned off WhatsApp for most of my day to hit my set goal.
Remember, hold yourself to higher standard.
I'd like to hear your thoughts..
