Motivation is a sugar rush. Feels good for five minutes. Then it crashes. But standards? They stick. A standard doesn’t ask how you feel. It doesn’t wait for perfect timing. It just exists—and expects you to meet it. You don’t skip brushing your teeth because you’re tired. You do it because it’s who you are. That’s how everything should work. Set your baseline. Raise it. Stick to it. Let others chase motivation. You move on discipline.
