Elevating Life with Standards Instead of Expectations: A Personal Journey of Transformation

Let’s begin understanding the differences between these terms:

Expectations are often externally imposed beliefs or assumptions about how we should act, look, or behave in certain situations. They can create pressure, stress, and feelings of inadequacy when we fail to meet them. On the other hand, standards are internal guidelines that we set for ourselves based on our values, beliefs, and aspirations. They serve as a compass for how we want to live our lives and the kind of person we strive to be.
