In a regular conversation with my hubby, he mentioned; ‘Rosalita,
its okay to demand standards’. There was my AHA moment! YES, it really is okay
to DEMAND STANDARDS. How many times have you been around people
who were toxic and yet still held onto the relationship? Maybe you have
downplayed a success in order to make someone else feel better? When we constantly alter who we are, we chip
away at our own identity; sifting through life and relationships with no sense
of what we really desire and who we truly are. It is then that we begin to lose
respect for ourselves. Respecting ourselves creates armour that protects us
from negativity, toxic relationships
When we lose our self- respect it makes it challenging
for us to make clear define decisions. We then open the door to let others
dictate how we must feel and act. I
came across this great quote:
‘Never apologize for having high standards, people who
want to be in your life will rise up to meet them’
So I implore you to Raise your Standards Bar High,
be ruthless in pursuing who you are destined to be. Surround yourself with
people who will raise you up and not stomp you down. Love yourself and be true
to who you are!
Rosalita
