If you do not know what you want to achieve in your life, speed doesn’t matter.

Competition doesn’t matter. Work doesn’t matter. Thinking does not matter.

What truly matters is what you want. Know what you want, then do whatever you can to make it happen.

But you must define it first. To do that, according to Dan Sullivan and Dr. Ben. Hardy, ask yourself the following questions:

‘What are you ultimately going for?

What are you ‘optimizing’ for?

What level of capability and results do you want to develop and master?

What are the standards you want to refine and actualize?’

Interesting, right? When you are answering them, be specific about what you truly want, what you care so much about.

Answer them in your own unique ways. Why? Because, according to Dan and Dr. Benjamin, ‘Your agency as a person is based on what you choose to develop yourself into.’ And, ‘It’s your responsibility to to define what you want and to direct your focus and attention toward that.’

Remember that ‘whatever you focus on, you become.’

When You Raise Your Standards

What you want matters. If you don’t know what you want, you are not going to be able to achieve anything in your life.

No matter who you are, what you want, where you want to be, how smart you are, how creative you are, to be successful, you must raise your standards.

If you are not getting what you want, check your standards. If your life is not what you want, then it is time to look at your standards.

If they are not high enough, raise them. If you are with people who are not doing anything, if you want growth, you must change your friends.

Whatever it is that you are not okay with in your life, do not keep it. Let it go. If you don’t let it go, it will let you go.

Think about it. Getting to the top is not easy. It is full of obstacles. But do not let that stop you from raising your standards.

It matters. Just because you are struggling to get things done doesn’t mean you have to lower your standards. Do not do that.

That is the fastest way to failure. But if you want to grow, if you want to experience a meaningful life, you must raise your standards.

Because success comes from raising your stardards, not from lowering them.

If you want to experience real happiness in your life, you must raise your stardards.

If you want to attract quality people into your life, you must raise your standards.

If you want to boost your self-worth, you must raise your standards.

And

if you want to improve your life, you must raise your standards. The question is, Will you do it? The choice is yours.
