I’ve spoken to you guys before about my belief in the power of your thoughts and your mind. It’s one of the reasons my Vision Board Series has been so successful and why many of you have found great success by creating them. There are so many layers to the overall idea of “I think, therefore I am”. This week’s motivation is about setting higher standards.
You get only what you believe you deserve.
It’s a powerful statement and an emotional one. It should make you think. It should make you a little angry. But it should also inspire you to dream bigger. The idea that the things we attract – whether it’s a great spouse or a promotion on the job – have alot to do with our minds and what we think about ourselves is a scary thing. It puts alot of control in your hands, which should scare you but should also empower you. Don’t get me wrong, I’m of the belief (personally) that God guides and directs all things in my life. But He can only do wonderful things for me if I’m mentally prepared for them.

So I’m vowing today to open up my mind and my heart to receive blessings beyond what I could ever imagine. And I’m setting my life standards incredibly high because I know I deserve it and because I don’t want to attract anything less.
What about you? Are you standards at their highest? Have you ever felt like you settled and you could do better? Soundoff below!
Excellent thoughts! I struggle with settling for less, but each day, I believe a little bit more in myself but most importantly how powerful God really is. You hit the mark when you stated that He can only do wonderful things if mentally prepared for them. We have to keep in mind that we are only vessels in which He dwells in. If only we learn how to get “self” out the way (self doubt, fear, worry, pride, etc), we can truly reach higher limits beyond our imaginations. Be humble and He WILL lift us up. Always. Thanks for the motivation!
There have definitely been times in my life where I’ve settled. However, valuable lessons were learned from those experiences. As a result, I’m no longer willing to settle because in the end settling doesn’t get you closer to the life you want or the life God has planned for you.
We have to be willing to leap out on faith and that means not settling for things or people who aren’t beneficial to you. Great post!
