Hello Everyone,
“Excellence is not a skill, it’s an attitude.”
– Ralph Marston
Standards guide our actions and decisions. They are not just goals to achieve; they are reflections of our character and commitment. To raise the standard means to elevate our aspirations and to align our actions with higher ideals. It is about setting a precedent that improves your life and encourages others to follow.
“The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.”
– David Morrison
Being the standard is about embodying the values and principles we advocate. It’s a conscious choice to live by example, influencing others through our actions. This requires continuous self-awareness and integrity, as our actions set a template for others in our community.
How can you, in your daily life, elevate the standards for yourself and those in your community?
Identify one aspect of your life or community where standards could be raised. Commit to one action this week that will improve your situation and work to set a higher standard in that area. Document your action and its impact on you and those around you.
Forge Forward,
Jon Mayo
