365QOD-Day55

"OK, so I want to raise my standards...how?"-question in an audio book

I found a jewel the other day.  I found an audio book in my vast audio library that I have never listened to.  Few years ago my commute was very long and I used to copy books all of the time and lost track of this one.

The book is a live recording of Unleash the Power Within by Tony Robbins.  Yesterday's blog and today are ideas I got from just the first CD.  I really appreciate the amount of material and energy he packs into his books.

In order to raise your standards, Tony claims that one needs to change our "should" into a "must".  The change is not enough because it must not be a temporary blip.  It must be something that we do consistently and eventually become.

So my I should finish the book by the end of the month becomes I must finish the book by the month.  Everyday actions must match the must.  I must everyday do something to progress towards that goal. Even if I do not hit the goal, the daily musts will move me towards finishing it.  If I do not finish it then maybe I am not as demanding from myself as I should be?  Maybe my standards are too low?

Today's question is:
"What should needs to be a must for you?"
