How To Keep The Momentum Going:

Remember to look at mistakes as a learning experience and move on. It’s not about what went wrong, it’s about how you use it to better yourself moving forward.

Today on Keeping It Real, I’m delivering another solo episode, which I haven't done in a while and I know you guys enjoy those.

I’m going to be sharing a concept that literally changed my entire life starting last September -- the way I think, the way I set goals, and my general reactions. 

I was in British Columbia and Vancouver at the time and used that as an opportunity to take a break, to step back and refocus, and to recollect my thoughts in an effort to gain more clarity.

I spent some time enjoying nature and just taking a much-needed break -- which I highly encourage you all to do because I’m sure you not only need it, but you deserve it, as well. 

But, when I decided to raise my standards for every aspect of my life -- everything from my professional maneuvers and decision-making to my personal relationships and internal processes -- I experienced immediate growth in my success and happiness that continues to this day. 

The BIG Takeaways From This Episode: 

• The Concept and Effects of Raising Your Standards [2:07]
• Why You Never Want to Be the Smartest in the Room [3:00]
• The Difference Between Successful People and Normal Society [4:05]
• You Don’t Get What You Deserve, You Get What You Tolerate [5:00]
• Why It’s Dangerous to Get Too Comfortable [6:10]
• What Happened When I Raised My Standards [7:30]
• How Standards Empower You to Live Your Best Life [9:00]

Memorable Quotes: 

• “It is important for you to be in social circles where you are not the smartest in the room -- to be around people who are doing bigger things and who raise your standards.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “The difference between successful people and the rest of normal society is that normal society looks at the success of other people and gets jealous.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “I let [other peoples’ success] inspire me -- I let it teach me something rather than me get bitter.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “You don’t get what you deserve in life, you get what you tolerate.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “Once you show that you are a person with standards then people respect you more, people respect your time more, and people respect what you have to say more.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “True freedom is being able to live the way you want to live, and having standards allows you to do that.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
