PERSONAL STANDARDS
![Page 2: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
WHAT ARE PERSONAL STANDARDS?
![Page 3: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
They are the set of behaviours or beliefs that we have decided to
live by.
![Page 4: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
People who set high standards tend to feel very good about themselves. They tend to feel good about others too. They
tend to be very attractive to high quality people.
![Page 5: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Standard is not about having expectations; it is about you and
not them. Having standards is not having an endless list of
requirements for your spouse, friends, colleagues,
subordinates, boss, children etc, but you!
![Page 6: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
DO WE ALL HAVE PERSONAL STANDARDS?
![Page 7: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We all have a “behind-the-scenes” set of rules governing our conduct and outlook. They
are reflected in the quality of our relationships, our work and the
way we communicate.
![Page 8: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We reveal our standards to people all the time. If you
haven’t actively created your standards-then where have they
come from?
![Page 9: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SOURCES OF IMPOSED PEROSNAL STANDARDS: standards are imposed on us from the outside from
the day we are.
![Page 10: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?
![Page 12: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Having outside generated standard is a problem because it can be a cause of discontent in
our lives
![Page 13: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If you are measuring yourself up to something that you have not decide to be true for you, then
that makes authentic happiness a difficult thing to achieve.
![Page 14: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
RECOGNIZING THE PERSONAL STANDARDS YOU LIVE BY
![Page 15: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Your personal standards are reflected in how you treat
yourself, and also in how you treat other people. They are also reflected in how you expect to be treated by other people.
![Page 16: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Your personal standards are also reflected in the promises you
keep, in the way you dress and manage your life, health,
finances and environment.
![Page 17: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
They are also reflected in the quality of your work values and
communication. In fact, everything you do and say gives
others an indication of the personal standards you live by.
![Page 18: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
You are therefore always sending messages about how you feel
about yourself, about others and about your life, whether you are consciously aware of it or not.
![Page 19: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SIGNIFICANCE OF PERSONAL STANDARDS
![Page 20: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1. They make you entirely self-validating: it takes the
focus away from outside markers of success, putting them entirely in the province of the personal.
![Page 21: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Puts you in control: not setting standards would just make you passive bystander.
Having clear standards puts you at the steering wheel of your life.
![Page 22: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. They create something measurable to assess your goals and progress against:
we have all heard that happiness is in the attainment of goals.
![Page 23: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
4. They are a better way to define yourself: defining yourself by
reference to the standards you create is far more logical than defining
yourself by your gender, background or sexuality.
![Page 24: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5. They enable you to make better decisions: knowing what’s important to your happiness and
fulfilment takes procrastination out of the equation.
![Page 25: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
6. They will free you up from others’ misconception
of you: we will always be misunderstood at times.
![Page 26: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
HOW TO RAISE YOUR STANDARDS?
![Page 27: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1. Clarify your expectations: your first step is to clarify what it is
exactly you want to achieve. It’s after all impossible to set standards
if you don’t know what it is you want.
![Page 28: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What do I want to
achieve?
Whom do I seek to
become?
What traits would I need to cultivate
to achieve this goal?
What new behaviours would I need to adopt?
How would I ideally like to live my life having achieved
this goal?
![Page 29: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2. Analyze your current reality: your current
reality is the life you are living at this very moment.
![Page 30: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Consider what kind of life this really is and the types of
behaviours that define your actions and results. Ask
yourself:
![Page 31: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What standards do I currently
live by?
What standards do I have for
myself in various situations?
What behaviours and actions do I partake in within these situations?
What standards do I have for the roles I play in my
life
![Page 32: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
3. Find inspiring mentors: your next step is to find appropriate
mentors. These will be people who are currently living to the highest of
standards in specific life areas…
![Page 33: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
… that you are wanting to focus on. The purpose here is to use them as inspiration to help you
raise your own personal standards.
![Page 34: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
4. Establish your own standards: it is now time to set some clear standards and expectations for each area of
your life.
![Page 35: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
In other words, you must identify a set of standards you
will follow. These standards effectively become the rules
you live by.
![Page 36: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
5. Discipline: the final step of this process is to discipline yourself to help instil the
motivation you need to follow through with these rituals, and
![Page 37: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
…subsequently live your life in accordance with your higher personal
standards.
![Page 38: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Raising your personal standards is never an easy process. You will need to break old patterns of
behaviour and develop new rituals and habits that will provide…
![Page 39: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
…you with the impetus you need to make positive changes to your
life. As such, the following guidelines and suggestions
might be of some value.
![Page 40: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

CONCLUSION
![Page 43: Personal standards](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58835e1a1a28ab42678b6ceb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

you more fulfilled in life. Thank you for listening.
