Holding Yourself to a Higher Standard

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.

Successful people understand that they are on stage and they will prepare themselves to perform at a higher standard.

Successful people continually focusing and move in the direction of success. They are moving forward with passion and as a result of their efforts they will create forward momentum. Success people stay on point and will work around and through the obstacles they encounter.

They realize that mistakes will happen and they will do their best to insulate themselves and to minimize their mistakes. When they make a mistake they will focus on correcting the mistake and moving on as quickly as possible to get the mistakes behind them.

Successful people look at mistakes as a learning experience. They will use those experiences as building blocks for greater success in the future and not as a wall.

Successful people will consistently take the actions needed to move them forward and in the direction of success.

Successful people are motivated and live their lives by the motto of lights camera action and take the stage to succeed and don’t quit.
