Your Standards = Your Life

Everything I have done and will do, is all from my experience. Something that works for me may not work for you and vice versa. So with that being said... Todays letter is a message to myself, much like all of them to be honest.

Deep down inside of me, I know what the "right" thing to do is, what I should or shouldn’t be doing. I know what foods are good for me, what exercise works for me, what practices aid my experience, that calling my family and telling them I love them helps me stay connected with the world, that the work I put in is reflected in what I get out of life, that how I do one thing is how I do everything. The list goes on.

The point of this is not to highlight all of the "things." The point of this is to remind myself that when I do in fact engage in all of the things, or as many as I can in my current circumstance, that life is wayyyyyyy fucking better. When I am living intentionally and aligned I actually love my life, vs "oh yeah it's all good..."

Thats not a coincidence... As many people now say but originally author, life coach and speaker Martha Beck said:

Why am I talking about this?

Because of how I feel. Because I hated my life and now I don't. Thats why.

I have to hold my standards high, my own life is the story of everything I do. If I'm sitting here talking all this crap and not executing and living it truthfully though my actions then I'm full of shit.

You can learn to love your life, but you first need to act in a way that shows you do.

Do the dishes, put the rubbish out, clean your room, be kind, respect your body. You don't need more evidence that this is what helps you enjoy your life. It simply is the way of things. You know if your full of shit or not, only you. You know if your not doing what you know you should or not. ONLY YOU.

A man who has thought me that discipline, self belief and building the life you want is a skill has this to say about it:

Hold yourself to a higher standard and watch your life unfold in ways you never imagined. Stack up all the small things and feel the momentum it creates towards driving you forward.

Lets get Every Last Drop from the ONE chance we have at life.

Much love.
