Success or abundance, in any area of life, is something you attract by the person you become. As Jim Rohn famously once said, “For things to improve, you have to improve. For things to get better, you have to get better. For things to change, you have to change. When you change, everything changes for you.” Consequently, it follows that your life is a direct reflection of the standards you hold for both yourself and others. This is another universal truth, one that applies to every aspect of your life. Whether it's something you're proud to acknowledge or rather something you prefer to shy away from, your business, your profession, your relationships, your health, your finances, your appearance… all are governed by the standards you hold them to. Like we also spoke about earlier this week, much of the time our standards are set by the subconscious mind, which is running us up to 95% of the day, with beliefs, emotions and standards which were unlikely programmed by you. Our life reflects our subconscious programming. It’s far from doom and gloom, however. The subconscious mind is a very obedient creature, once we learn how to navigate it. The first and most important fact to recognise is that the subconscious mind’s highest priority is to create reality out of its program. That is, once it ‘believes’ something to be true (the default programming is usually to believe the worst), the subconscious mind hates to be wrong, and therefore has to prove the ‘program’ that it’ running is true. What follows is a beautiful truth: We can reprogram our subconscious mind to something that supports the better person we want to become, and get it on board with the vision we hold for our lives, rather than having it constantly working against us. So what’s the key to getting where you want to go? Raising your standards. To recollect the words of Tony Robbins, “If you don’t set baseline standards for what you’ll accept in your life, you’ll find it easy to slip into behaviours and attitudes and a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve.” More often than not, the standards we hold ourselves to are usually set far lower than you’re able to achieve. I believe the reason for this is two fold: we have a fear of falling short of them, and we are the product of those who we spend time with. If the people we typically hang out with have low standards, chances are we let ourselves off the hook with maintaining a high standard. What’s more, the human ego is subconsciously always looking to find individuals of lower standards to make ourselves feel better, and that inevitably there is no reason to change or push to create more. Remember, our possibilities in this lifetime are infinite. Give yourself permission to hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you, even one higher than you have come to expect of yourself. Turn your ‘should’s’ into ‘musts’. It’s a simple two-step process. First, we must find a standard of what you’re going to make happen. Where do you draw the line? Second, our personal standard in a particular area MUST be backed up by a ritual. It’s our rituals that define us. They are the back up what makes our standards real. See, there is a huge difference between being interested in something, and committing to it by following a set of specific rituals. Your rituals form the little things you do every single day. When you are consistent and your rituals become etched in your life as something you MUST do, we gather so much momentum it’s easy to succeed. In this personal development video, I get more specific about HOW to create rituals and why we often set a standard for ourselves far below that which we are capable of. Give yourself permission to release mediocrity, dream bigger and set new standards in accordance with our highest self, based by positive rituals. Expect more, don’t settle for less.
