What Do You Expect, of You?

It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him. – John Steinbeck

While the expectations, or hopes is better word, we have for others is an important subject, let’s talk about your hopes for you.

Or, better put, what are your standards?

What do expect of yourself, in each are of life?

What is “okay” – with you – in terms of learning? your finances? your relationships? your fitness? your nourishment

Well . . . ?

How you answer those questions is how you’re living.

Want to live better?

Answer those questions better.

Raise your standards.
