Setting High Personal Standards for a Fulfilling Life
In the influential work, “The 22 Non-Negotiable Laws of Wellness,” Greg Anderson asserts, “Let us be committed to establishing high standards for life, wisdom, creativity, and love. We are unlikely to experience wellness if our expectations in these areas are low. Setting high standards makes every decade and every day worth looking forward to.” He also reminds us that by changing our perception, we gain control over situations. Challenges become opportunities rather than threats when we choose action over feeling trapped by circumstances.
Overcoming Overwhelm: A New Perspective
At times, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and cornered by situations we’d prefer not to face. These circumstances can often seem incredibly unfair. It’s natural to focus on how unjustly we’ve been treated or believe that such things shouldn’t happen at all. Ignoring a problem might seem simpler than confronting it directly; however, anxiety builds up when issues remain unaddressed and may worsen over time.
The Pitfalls of Denial
Concentrating solely on how things should be rather than dealing with reality can lead to both physical and emotional disaster. Successful individuals set high standards for addressing challenges head-on. They establish clear guidelines about what they expect from themselves and others while recognizing the futility of staying in denial or resisting truth with unreasonable scenarios.
