Live Life to Your Own Standards

As a man, leadership begins with having certain standards in life.

A set of values you hold to yourself and others around you.

Knowing what you stand for and sticking to it is essential.

Demanding from the universe what you deserve is a cheat code to living a successful life.

I wake up daily and connect with the universe, telling it who I am.

It might seem odd to some, but this is me knowing my worth and not settling for less.

It's a small thing, but it speaks volumes about how I approach life.

Growing up, my mom was the same.

She had her beliefs and didn't waver, even when others didn't understand.

She taught me the value of being true to oneself.

And it wasn't always easy, especially during times when we didn't celebrate like others, but it taught me resilience and the importance of personal integrity.

In every aspect of life, whether it's work, relationships, or personal goals, you've got to set your bar high.

I remember my days in fighting, I had so many people doubting me, laughing at my dreams, but I kept pushing.

Not to prove them wrong, but because I believed in myself.

I knew my worth, and I wasn't about to let anyone else define it for me.

Money, fame, and external success can be great, but they're not the be-all and end-all.

What truly matters is being genuine, looking deep inside yourself and deeply understanding who you are.

If you're not setting the rules in your life, then who is?

Who’s life standards are you living to?

Your life is yours to live. Surround yourself with people who lift you up, not those who hold you back.

And when you face challenges, Zoom out, remember your standards.

Remember where you’re going, and the kind of man you are.

In the end, setting and living by your standards is the true mark of a leader that can uplift and influence others to live life to their own standards.
