Raise Your Standards

Raise Your Standards 

Certainly! The quote "Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards and believe you can meet them" emphasizes the importance of setting high standards for yourself and having the confidence that you can achieve them. Let's explore this concept further:

1. **Setting Standards for Yourself**:
   - **Personal Standards**: Before you can have relational standards (such as in relationships), it's essential to establish personal standards. These are the expectations and boundaries you set for yourself.
   - **Commitment**: The secret to setting and maintaining high standards is making a commitment to follow through. When you commit, you must deliver, which leads to lasting change.
   - **Trying vs. Committing**: People often avoid commitment because it requires accountability. When you merely "try your best," it's easy to let things slide. But committing means taking action consistently.

2. **Raising Your Standards**:
   - **Belief System**: To raise your standards, you need to change your belief system. Develop a sense of certainty that you can meet these new standards even before you achieve them.
   - **Aspiration**: Write down what you will no longer accept in your life and what you aspire to become. These aspirations guide your actions and decisions.

3. **Benefits of Raising Your Standards**:
   - **Improved Quality of Life**: When you have substantial standards, the quality of your life increases because you prioritize your mental health over external factors.
   - **Loneliness and Consequences**: The process of raising standards may lead to loneliness initially (e.g., going no contact with someone toxic), but it's worth it for your well-being.
   - **Prioritizing Mental Health**: No matter what or who is involved, prioritize your mental health above all else.

4. **Quotes on Raising Standards**:
   - Tony Robbins: "Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards."
   - Shahrukh Khan: "If you like me, raise your hand. If you don't, raise your standards."
   - Joel Brown: "We only get what we believe we deserve. Raise the bar, raise your standards."
   - Mark Batterson: "When God blesses you financially, don't raise your standard of living; raise your standard of giving."

Remember that raising your standards isn't about superficial conditions but about prioritizing what truly matters for your well-being¹²³⁴. Believe in yourself, commit to those higher standards, and watch positive changes unfold! 😊

The right perspective in archiving goals

The right perspective in archiving goals Archiving is an essential component of any organization's records management strategy. It involves the secure storage of inactive information for extended periods in any format, preserving information that may be needed in the future according to its retention schedule. Archives are live historical documents that provide documentation, explanation, and justification for both past and current actions. Effective archiving systems improve data management, storage, and retrieval, and protect against data loss. When it comes to archiving goals, goals describe the purpose of the archival project, while objectives express the steps necessary to achieve goals. The goals should be prioritized so that the team knows which goal is most important if a trade-off needs to be made. Document each goal and tie it to the project vision. Goals describe what you want to achieve in non-technical terms, and they should align with organizational strate...

The Little Book of Talent: 52 Tips for Improving Your Skills Overview Daniel Coyle is the author of The Talent Code, in which he explains how talent is made. The short story: talent is the result of practice + motivation + having a great coach. It’s not about innate traits; it’s all about (the right kind of!) practice, practice, practice. Coyle arrived at this conclusion after visiting nine so-called talent hotbeds – places that create an extraordinary amount of high performers. In those hotbeds, he saw the same patterns over and over again: great performers became great by combining practice, motivation, and master coaching. But people in those hotbeds didn’t practice like everybody else. They practiced in ways that lead to far faster and superior skill development. Coyle learned a lot of little tricks about practicing well as he was visiting those hotbeds. The Little Book of Talent is essentially a compilation of all the little tips and tricks he learned from visiting tho...
