Setting a Standard

The level of quality, achievement or attainment is a standard. Something set up and established by an authority, or a person as a rule or the measure of value or quality.

Setting standards is like setting a principle or quality for yourself that will guide you by taking control of these qualities in your life. When you set a standard for yourself, there are things you will accept for yourself, your habits, 'dos' and 'donts' and these can help make ourselves a better life. These are things you not only accept for yourself but also things you cannot accept from others. Things you cannot do for yourself are also things you cannot do to others when setting a standard. Setting standard that are achieveable for yourself will help you find the best of your ability and potential. The standards you raise for yourself are not irrelevant when they are applicable in the right way.

Anthony Robbins says "Anytime you want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards"

It means there are things you must accept, do and neglect in your life to make a change. In order to achieve a goal in life, you have to set yourself a standard that is to live and behave in a certain way. The way others treat you depends on the kind of standard you set and raise for yourself. They include habits, mode of dressing orderliness and other essential qualities that others should see in a man. You build up expectations from yourself when you set a standard, you are willing to do things the way you want for you to get the result you want. Setting a standard also determine the quality of our lives.

What standard do you have as a father, a teacher, a student? You should ask yourself what you want to achieve, you can only set a standard based on your goals or what you want to achieve. How do you want to live to achieve these goals.

Let us raise a standard for ourselves. We should set a standard for ourselves and live by it. There are qualities others will see in us. These qualities will raise a standard for us when others see us. Our goals are achieveable, our qualities are standardised.

The standards we raise for ourselves determine the type of goals we would like to achieve and the type of person we wish to be. Standards are the rules we set for ourselves and live by them.
