On Monday, we talked about constantly demanding more from your life.
Today, I’m going to tell you how. Or rather, I’ll let my lifelong mentor Tony Robbins tell you.
“If you want to dramatically change your life, raise your standards.”
Too often we remain stuck in situations we despise, because we don’t demand more from ourselves, our lives or those around us. It’s like the famous definition of insanity – Doing things over and over the same way, yet expecting a different result.
*** If you want a better life, you can no longer accept your current situation. You must raise your life standards! ***
It’s not enough to just verbalize who you’d like to be. It’s not enough to think about the path to success based on pushing yourself away from your current pain. It’s not enough to think anything else is better.
You want real, positive and permanent change in your life? Then you need to make a conscious decision right now. Not after lunch, not after work, not tomorrow.
You need to demand more not just from your life, but from yourself. You’re the only one who can hold you back. Therefore, it’s only logical that you’re the only one that can demand and achieve more from your life.
Instead of focusing on your limitations, focus on what you are going to achieve. Raise the bar! Set your goals a little higher than you think you can ever reach. That way, if you come up just short, you’re still further ahead than you ever thought possible.
You only get one life, so what have you got to lose? Except those self-inflicted limitations that you allow to hold you back.
Make today better than yesterday, but not as great as tomorrow!
