When we lower our standards to trash, we simply succeed in putting ourselves in the trash can. Stand tall
It’s amazing how many people go through life without any personal standards or with standards as fickle as the wind.
They never know where they stand at each point in life and a life of anything goes is what it is…anything goes, that way they don’t even know when nothing is going.
When you keep lowering your standards, you keep going downhill but when you raise them you rise with them.
Be mindful of accepting every nonsense dished out there because of the fear of being politically incorrect or being labeled as a hater.
Not everyone will meet your standards neither will you meet everyone’s standard and that’s absolutely fine.

A great admonition, Jacque. I particularly like the “raise your standards, you raise yourself with them.”

Jacqueline, Love this. My mum and I were just saying some people just don’t have a basic standard in what they wear – don’t have to be expensive just clean and tidy.
It is true if we lower our standard then we are fit for the trash can. What a waste !
