Becoming successful in life is a slow process.
It never happens overnight.
This is something I talk about all the time.
However, the same is true when it comes to mediocrity.
You don’t go from being a huge success to a complete failure overnight.
The problem is, most people won’t recognize and adjust their poor habits until it's too late.
Here's how it works...
Every single time you skip a detail because you don't think it's important and "nobody will notice"...
You are making a withdrawal from your standards.
This is every time you walk over the piece of trash on the floor...
This is every time you leave your dirty dishes in the sink...
This is every time you half-ass a task at work...
...and if you can't learn to adjust this habit of cutting corners and lowering your standards...
Your standards will continue to slide little by little until you are nowhere near the performer you used to be.
On the other hand, if you consistently make deposits into your standards by operating at a high level and paying attention to every single detail...
Both big and small...
With time, you will mold yourself into one bad motherfucker.
But that's something you have to fight to maintain every single day by upholding and constantly improving on your standards.
It’s a never-ending process.
If you haven't been making deposits into your standards…
It’s never too late to start.
