Chris Errington’s latest article is a must read and touches on true performance, accountability, and goal setting.
Chris writes that you need to not only demand more from life but it is also imperative you demand more from yourself.
Chris goes on to suggest that we should set our goals higher than we can achieve. Depending on your mindset, you may disagree with this notion but I personally couldn’t agree more with Chris!
A few months ago I was subjected to a speech from a self-proclaimed motivational speaker.

Hearing this I couldn’t help but think that this is a recipe for mediocrity and disaster!

Do you think it was the result of someone giving average energy and effort? Moreover, imagine a world where all goals were based upon what we perceived to be achievable at that very moment…
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be average! I will set the bar high! I will put in the energy and effort to make my dreams a reality! I will demand more from life, and myself!

*** If you want a better life, you can no longer accept your current situation. You must raise your life standards! ***
It’s not enough to just verbalize who you’d like to be. It’s not enough to think about the path to success based on pushing yourself away from your current pain. It’s not enough to think anything else is better.
You want real, positive and permanent…
