I’m often told my standards and expectations are extremely high. Good. And I won’t lower them. You be mediocre. I strive for excellence. I’m not perfect but I want to be the beat version of myself.

If there’s a scale of 1-10, I set my sights on 20. If I don’t make it, I might fall on 10.

If I simply set my sights on 10 and don’t make it, I might fall on 5. That’s average. I don’t want average.
