Against the grain
Wednesday, September 13
Can you be positive when those around you are negative?
Can you give your best when those around you give average effort?
Can you be patient when those around you are impatient?
Can you be consistent when those around you are inconsistent?
Can you be humble when those around you are prideful?
Can you care when those around you seem to not care?
This is the test.
The world didn’t agree to your standard. This means those around you constantly pull you away from your values and standard. That is not an excuse to lower the bar you have set for yourself. That is not an excuse to change the way you show up. It just means you have to be that much more committed, disciplined, and in control of yourself.
No matter the circumstances, live the standard.
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
