"If you want to change your life you have to raise your standards.” — Tony Robbins
The quality of your life is the reflection of your standards.
You could make millions and still stay poor in your mind. Being poor is not about making less money.
Being poor is a mentality. It’s a choice to live a low standard of life.
When I say low standard, I don’t mean the luxuries and pleasures that rich people can afford.
You can raise your standards regardless of how much money you make. It’s not about money, it’s about mindset.
You raise your standards every time when you —ignore the lizard brain, say no to distractions, delay gratification or choose voluntary discomfort.
Daily small choices set the foundation for your standards. Stop reacting to temptations. The urge to open social media, check notifications, eat unhealthy foods, skip workouts, buy unnecessary stuff, dwell on the past, or waste time will always be there. It is your duty to recognize them & kill them before they kill you.
Temptations are immature. They seek the momentary pleasure & disregard the future. You don’t have to act on your urges. Making right decisions in the face of strong urges is the sign of true wisdom.
When you’re faced with urges, acknowledge them and do the right thing anyway. You will feel proud & your self-confidence will become unshakable.
You don’t have to give up all the pleasures in life. You can enjoy pleasurable experiences in moderation. Find a healthy balance for yourself but don’t indulge beyond your allowance.
Mindset
Your thoughts determine your actions. If you want to put quality thoughts in your mind, you must put them there in a way that those thoughts in your mind are useful or helpful.
Negative Self-talk can lead to depression, worry or anxiety. Your internal self-talk is the way to speak with your subconscious. Make sure you talk to yourself from a higher perspective.
Become your own life coach. Use the power of self-affirmation to feel powerful and inspired to become great.
What beliefs do you hold for yourself?
Most people never recognize what they are capable of because they think too small and lack self-efficacy.
If you raise the standard of your mindset, you will not be shattered by the failures or setbacks. You will see obstacles as an opportunity to learn and grow. You will get inspired instead of getting jealous. You will participate in healthy competition instead of comparing yourself with others
“Let your actions prove that you’re committed to living life on a new level. Get rid of the people and thoughts that confine you to an average existence. Raise your standards and aim for greatness.” — Tony Robbins
