The quality of your life is a byproduct of your standards and how well you hold yourself to them.
If you want to live your best life, you have to hold yourself to your best (realistic) standards.
This isn’t to say you can’t update and revise your standards as you grow, change, and mature.
It’s merely to say, if you don’t have standards set then anything will do.
And living your best life isn’t something that happens where anything will do.
