Be yourself - not your idea of what you think somebody else’s idea of yourself should be. ~ Henry David Thoreau . . . ⁉️ How many times we think less of ourselves because we are not up to the standard? But, what standard? The someone else’s standard? We will never keep up and/or get up to that standard. Trying to be someone we are not is exhausting. Enjoy living the life you have! . . . ✅ Having a standard is not a bad thing, but when you set YOUR standard based on someone else’s, it is then when having a standard becomes a problem. Have a high standard by all means! A standard tailored for you, for your life. Your standard is your life code. It should represent you now, not the idea of you - who you should be. . . . 💜 The journey of having a standard is of growth and discovery. You will grow in every aspect of your life and discover new things about you. Hence, your standard will move because it grows with you. Then, you won’t think in terms of low/high standards, but in quality - a standard up to par with your growth. . . . 😃 Smile my friends! . . . #standard #settinggoals #lifecode #lifedecoded #journey #henrydavidthoreau #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #qualityoflife #liveyourlifeatyourownpace #startbydoing #startbeing #believeinyourself #lebanontn #wilsoncountytn #tennessee #nashville #blogger #growthmindset #growth #discoveryourself #enjoylife #lifeisgood #smile #friends (at Lebanon, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAD5Jdlhgl-/?igshid=5v5o3a2zbuhu
