The standards you set & hold will become your norm as you live into them.
I’ve been sitting with this contemplation a lot lately. Realizing that… who I am, what I do, what I have… is not normal to “most”.
But it’s normal to me. And I can’t relate with “most” anymore.
When I hear other people say “oh it’s normal to do this or that” (usually as justification for why they are where they are instead of where they want to be) it doesn’t even register to my brain.
I can observe and empathize, but I often feel like I live on a whole other planet.
And in a way, I do.
My normal hasn’t always been what it is now… but I started intentionally setting standards for my Self & my life a decade ago and have been diligent about living into them until they became my norms… and then I discovered new standards to set… and grew into those… and so on…
I’ve also surrounded myself with other humans who have very similar standards that became norms.
Which just normalizes my norms even more. Lol.
It’s all by design.
Conscious, creative choice.
Where what was once a wild dream becomes… just another Tuesday.
What was once DELULU is now… normal.
