Don’t stop until you’re proud.

Standards.

The secret to life captured by one powerful word.

Each and every one of us decides what standards we choose to live by on a daily basis.

The moment you stop waiting for someone else to set your standards for you is the moment true freedom, success, and happiness will begin to be a consistent part of your life.

In my book, speaking engagements and trainings I refer to there being 5 Levels of Results (Standards) and I strongly encourage and challenge (in a loving and nurturing kind of way) everyone to set their standards HIGH.

Why? Because you were put on this earth to be Extraordinary (highest level) – you were not put on this earth to be average or mediocre or less.

Many times in life we get so caught up with measuring ourselves versus others (which causes unnecessary stress and anxiety), when in all reality the only measurement that really matters is the one that is within you.

What are the STANDARDS you are choosing for yourself?

Are you PROUD of how you are showing up?

Are you giving life your very best? If so, keep on, keepin’ on.

If not, I challenge you to just begin living to the point where you are PROUD of what you give to this world on a daily basis.

That’s it. Don’t make life more complicated than it needs to be my friends.
