Personal Foundation: Raise Standards
Personal Standards refer to the behavior and actions you aren willing to hold yourself to. You’ll find as your work on the 1st four areas of the Personal Foundation Program that you’ll much more easily (and enjoy) more of yourself and of your behavior.
When a person has — and honors — high standards:
- They feel very, very good about themselves, and others too..
- They become irresistably attractive to high quality people.
- They don’t get near people or situations which cause problems.
What happens when one’s standards are too low:
- They continue to operate “below the line” emotionally.
- Their self-esteem drops and they constantly question their self-worth.
THE 10 STEPS TO RAISING PERSONAL STANDARDS
Mark each item as True or False, as it relates to you.
- Make a list of 10 people ou admire: identify their qualities and natural behavior, as well as how they handle tough situations and people. What standards could you raise that would have you be more like them, yet still fit you, today?
- Start being unconditionally constructive every single time you open your mouth, yet still say all you need to say
- Stop gossiping, good or bad, about anyone.
- Let go of the standards you “should” have; make a list of the 10 standards you most want and are ready for today.
- “Get” that standards are a choice, not a requirement.
- Fully respond to everything that occurs in your “space”; assume you had something to do with it, but don’t take the “blame.” Just handle it and raise your standards so it doesn’t happen again.
- Always: put people and relationships ahead of results.
- Always: put your integrity first, needs second, wants third.
- “Get” that others are right, and so are you.
- Always: maintain a reserve of time, money, love, wellness..
