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.
Always have something planned that you can look forward to.
It’ll act as a magnet that will pull you excitedly forward through your days.
Without it, the days will feel like all push.
What do all of the greats have in common?
They didn’t become great by accident—they became great on purpose.
From this point forward, don’t be accidental.
Be on purpose.
The byproduct of desire is discontentment.
You cannot be discontent AND happy.
But, you CAN be content and focused on growth.
Don’t let discontent guide your life—it’s miserable.
Focus on what fills you up instead.
And let your curiosity, enthusiasm, and generosity lead the way.
If this person/ place/ thing doesn’t serve your higher purpose why are you investing time/ energy/ effort into it/ them?
Built into this question is the assumption that you know what your higher purpose is.
If you don’t, all actions become arbitrary; all uses of time become fungible.
If you want to arrive at a certain type of destination, you need to point the GPS of your actions towards it.
And you need to know well enough not to get off every exit of the highway while you’re on your way.
Random wandering—random uses of time—can only get you, by definition, nowhere in particular.
