## Resource

The key to becoming the person you’re called to be is learning to stop negotiating with yourself. This week as we continue to raise our standards, I want to challenge you to recognize the small compromises that quietly lower your standards and keep you from reaching your potential. Confidence is built by keeping promises to yourself. Your ordinary decisions shape your future, and choosing purpose over comfort can transform your life. Your future is waiting on the decisions you’ve been postponing, so it’s time to stop negotiating, start deciding, and raise your standards.
