Good morning, it's your Uncle Rob.
Yesterday I asked you to take a hard look at who you really are and what you actually need out of this life. Today's the next step, and it ain't gentle.
Once you've seen yourself clearly, you gotta set a standard. Not a goal. Not a wish. Not something you hope for. But a standard: what your life will include and what it won't. What you'll accept and what you won't tolerate for another day.
Here's the thing: at some point you gotta decide if you're a fighter or if you're food. That's the real line that nobody else can draw it for you. Are you here to accomplish what you were born to accomplish, or are you part of the masses, driven like cattle, serving somebody else's purpose, sacrificing the only life you have for somebody else's?
Because that's what living below your standard looks like from the inside. It don't feel like failure. It feels like going along to get along. It feels like being a good soldier. And one day you wake up and realize you fed your whole life to somebody else's dream.
So set the standard now, while you still got time to live by it. Don't negotiate with it. Don't apologize for it. This is what my life includes now, and anything that don't fit don't get in.
Question: if you died today, and all you took from this life was your memories, and for eternity that's what you had, over and over, forever, how would your afterlife be? Would it be filled with heavenly memories, or would that be hell?
You don't have to share the answer; you just need to know the answer and decide what you're gonna do about it.
