How Our Standards Shape Who We Are & What We Achieve | Dad University Podcast EP 217

I was listening to a Tony Robbins lecture.  He says the #1 way to change your life is to raise your standards. Raise our standards and it will change your life long term.  Only thing that creates lasting change. There are bunch of things in life that we want.  But we don't get what we want, we get what we have to have. We get what we tolerate.  Difference in people is their standards. Should lose weight, should spend time with my kids.....mad at their shoulds When your should becomes a must.  When something that should happen becomes a must, that is when change occurs. Think about things in your life that you have made a significant change: your job - it's not a must if you aren't in the right job your income - it's not a must if you aren't making the certain level your health - it's not a must your physical appearance - it's not a must, your standard doesn't match your work ethic We set a standard based on our environment....who is around you. The people you hang out with.  What are the standards of people around you?  Your friends and /or co-workers.  This can have an effect on how Imagine how your life should shift if you change from should to a must.  If you must earn.

Getting married and having kids is quite different than being a single dude. Not only does your available free time change, but your stress level increases, the pressure escalates, and we often don't have an outlet for help. The average woman has a circle of friends, family, or online communities where she shares aspects of her life and gets advice, feedback, or at a minimum, the feeling that there are other people going through the same thing. Men don't talk as much, don't want to share as much, and therefore don't really experience the transition the way women do. Our personal struggles and frustrations often go untouched, simply learning how to cope with them ourselves. We think we need to "man up" and deal with it on our own. Whether it is parenting issues, dealing with our relationships, or anything in-between, Dad University is a place where men can know that other guys are going through the same thing. We can help each other and be better fathers and husbands. The Podcast helps dads through the journey of fatherhood as well as provides advice and assistance in relationships.
