Walk with Dr. Stephen – Day 5: MUST Standards
One of the questions people ask me most often is,
"What does the word MUST actually mean?"
To me, a MUST is a non-negotiable standard that's aligned with the person you're committed to becoming.
When your standards are connected to your identity, your decisions become easier.
You stop asking,
"Do I feel like it today?"
Instead, you ask,
"Is this consistent with who I'm becoming?"
Those standards shape every area of your life—your health, your relationships, your career, your finances, your personal growth, your faith, and the way you contribute to others.
The life you're building today is simply a reflection of the standards you've chosen to live by.
Every decision—no matter how small—is either reinforcing the person you're becoming or pulling you away from that person.
So today, ask yourself one question:
What is one standard that must become non-negotiable if I'm going to become the person I'm meant to be?
I'm Dr. Stephen Rue.
Welcome to your becoming.
Until next time.
