How High Is YOUR Bar?


There is a bar representing the standard of behavior by which we all live our lives. Anything above it is acceptable behavior. They are the things we do that make us proud, that we would not be ashamed to talk about to anyone. However, transgressions below the bar simply shouldn’t be tolerated.

The bar itself represents something. It represents EXPECTATIONS. It represents what we expect of ourselves. How high we place the bar represents how high we wish to aspire. For many people the bar is too low. It's so low, they can reach it while sitting down.

No one sets the level of "your bar" -- your standards -- but you.
