Maintaining an Above Average level of Standards can either be the most difficult thing you can do or the easiest thing to do.

Maintaining an Above Average level is most difficult when you lack the discipline, the commitment, the dedication, and most of all the SELF-RESPECT to move beyond what you know you must do.

Having the Self-Respect, Discipline, Dedication, and Commitment must become almost second nature.

Once you move up to a higher level of standards, the same need remains for discipline, dedication, commitment and most of all, Self-Respect. The need remains because as I continue to mention it is hard work to keep raising your standards.

The moment you slip and decide it is “too difficult” to keep putting in the work is the exact moment you fall back into your past and welcome back with open arms all that has kept you down.

I am not here to tell you to get to work, but I am here to tell you, you get exactly what you put in.

Until Next Week, I am David Guerra and I approve this message.

Then comes setting your boundaries. Plain and simple if you have NO BOUNDARIES then that is just an open invitation to let anyone into your life. Most certainly, there is the possibility that High Quality individuals may enter your life but if you have little to no boundaries do not expect those High Quality People to stick around or arrive in herds. However, those that will arrive and stick around are those that with little to no boundaries themselves as well as little to no respect for themselves, let alone any respect for you.

Another certainty is that having few boundaries will certainly attract those individuals that will do everything they can to test your boundaries (at first) then abuse the fact that you have little to no boundaries. So, yes, they will use and abuse you because of your failure to make, identify, and maintain any type (or kind) of boundaries. That is because they are ONLY in it for themselves.

Set your Standards/Boundaries HIGH and the only people you will be attracting are those that also set HIGH BOUNDARIES for themselves and expect others to RESPECT those boundaries and standards, no questions asked because they are giving respect in the first place.

A reminder: To Raise Your Standards and Set Boundaries, they have to be permanent. For those of you that think it is cute to say your standards are higher than your heels. Your heels end at your ankle and that is STILL pretty low to the ground.

Lastly, when it comes to setting Boundaries & Standards, they cannot be in form of a band-aid because others expect it and all you want to do is half-ass it. Remember, Success NEVER comes from doing anything Half-Ass.

Did you know you become the average of the 5 people you hang out with?

If they are of below average quality, then guess what it is just a matter of time before you become below average. Unless you are already there. Hang Aroung High Caliber People become a High Caliber Person.

Average quality individuals are the norm, the standard, the everyday, the common.

Be Above Average.
Hang out and be around those that are Above Average will most certainly make you Above Average.

However, as with anything else in life, you have to put in the work. If you are NOT willing to put in the work to be above average, then why bother? Put in the work or enjoy your time being below average, if you can.

Until Next Week,
