There is a reason why the top coaches are so consistently good: they set high standards for themselves, their fellow coaches and their players. Having a will that sets high standards can lead to a happy and fulfilled life for us, too. When you set the bar high for yourself, it is easier to accept or reject all that comes your way. Does the new idea or event raise or sustain our performance – or does it lower it? The decision is so much easier and your life remains at a high level. There will always be those who will try to undermine you to elevate themselves. Don’t retaliate against them; that’s what they want – a fight. Instead go to God with the development and let Him deal with the other person. His way will be much more effective and less stressful for us.
