Set Your Standards High

Hello Hello friends 😃

I hope you had an amazing Halloween!

Today, I’m sharing a powerful idea about how raising the standards we set for ourselves can unlock new possibilities (I found it in one of my top 5 favorite books; The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz) : 

« Think big, and your life will grow to meet it. »
— David J. Schwartz

In other words, the size of your dreams often determines the size of your accomplishments. 

When we think big, we set high expectations, which pushes us to rise to the challenge. It’s not about overreaching, it’s about expanding what we believe is possible.

Thinking big isn’t just about ambition; it’s about giving yourself permission to live a life that aligns with your highest hopes and dreams 😎🌟.

📝 How can you start thinking bigger?

◦ Surround yourself with inspiration: Spend time with people or ideas that expand your vision and remind you of what’s possible.

(I do this often, and trust me, it makes a huge difference 😅) 

◦ Embrace a “Why not?” mindset: When faced with a new opportunity or a big idea, ask yourself, “Why not me?” or “Why not now?”. Shifting your perspective this way opens doors to possibilities and helps you step out of your comfort zone.

I feel like this approach has been a guiding force for me with Happiness Library, helping me reach further than I thought I could 😊.

What about you?

On another note 👀

Here's what I plan to share in the next two weeks on Happiness Library: 

• Book recommendations to boost your confidence

• An official review of Career Break Compass by Laura Nguyen

• Books to help you lead, connect, and communicate better

• Book recommendations for thriving at work

Which of these posts are you most excited to see?
