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?

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

Want to live better?

Answer those questions better.

Raise your standards.
