In life, you get exactly what you tolerate

Something magical happens when you refuse to settle for less in life. Something shifts, and, combined with ferocious, violent action to achieve exactly what you want, doors start to open, goals start to look doable, and possibilities become realized.

But it isn’t magic. And sure as hell isn’t a “secret.”

It’s about raising your standards and refusing to lower yourself — or tolerate anything that’s below what you’re willing to work for.

Years ago, I read a book with an embarrassing title called Awaken the Giant Within, by Tony Robbins. Maybe you’ve heard of him.

Anyway, the title is the only lame thing about the book, because reading how the outer conditions of our lives reflect our internal standards was nothing less than life-changing for me, and it led to a whole lot of other things starting to go right in my life.

I think it could work the same way for you.

Dumb title, AMAZING book. Check it out.

Okay, so what exactly do I mean by “standards”?
