Motivational Power Quote
Holding Yourself to a Higher Standard
“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone
else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity
yourself.
Be a hard master to yourself and be lenient to
everyone else.”
Henry Ward Beecher 1813 - 1887, American
Congregationalist
Clergyman, Social Reformer, Speaker
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Holding yourself to a higher standard
Set a higher standard for your life . .
. . one that you will be proud to live out
each day and one to be remembered by. Hold that higher standard through-out
your life and you will enjoy the success journey of your life.
The standards that you hold yourself to,
will determine the air that you place under your wings . . . . and how high you
will soar.
Your standards make you who you are . .
. . and create a direction for your life . . . . They will impact what you
achieve in your lifetime.
Higher standards come from the heart and
are a direct reflection on who you are as a person.
You will be challenged at times to lower
your higher standard for short term gains . . . . a quick fix . . . . or
quicker success. If your compromise your standards you compromise your
integrity . . . . and you may never recover what was lost by lowering your
standards or compromising your integrity.
Holding yourself to a higher standard .
. . . may not always get you to the destination faster . . . . but you will find
that it’s a truer course of action to follow.
