Setting the Bar

Too often in life, we compare ourselves with other people. We tend to see ourselves, where we are in life and how we live our life, through a direct comparison with other people. While this is inevitable in this competitive age, I believe that ultimately it all depends on how high or low you set the bar for yourself. 

Like they say 'The race is long, but in the end, it is only with yourself'.

We need to set a certain standard for ourselves which you can call your 'Bar'. Once you set your bar on a certain level, simply do not accept yourself on a lower level than that. No matter what happens, you should always strive to carry yourself at that bar level.

The 'Bar' simply defines who you are and how you want to be presented to the world. Its' YOU' in every sense. It defines what you speak, how you carry yourself, what thoughts you think, how you dress, how you relate to the world etc. Its the minimum level you will accept yourself as. 

No matter how challenging the situation or how difficult the other person might be, you chooseto live up to the bar that you set for yourself. Nothing should make you lower the bar, that is, lower your standards. 

Set the bar high and live up to it. You will see miracles happening.
