DOUBLE STANDARDS.

i will admit there are many things that tick me off in regards to some human mannerisms, but this character is on the top five list,red-tape i mean.the fact that it is common does not in an way help me.
i am still yet to understand why people do this thing of telling you to do something, demanding something from you,reacting to you in a certain way yet when the same exact thing is done to them they will blow the roof top about it. to be fair i will say i have been this thoughtless a couple of times, am no angel.
most of us if not all of us have high expectations that even we ourselves fail to reach, we love to complain about how someone doesn't fit into our perfect world or the don't conform.if we are ever to achieve even the least greatness in this world we must steer clear from this.
take a little time,look at the things you demand from others,do you do them yourself?do you qualify of your own making?i am a culprit of this nature once in a while but i found something that works,before you open your mouth to tell someone something,check if you qualify,if not either you drop it or start doing it - period!!when dealing with someone get out of your box and think of them as you would have wanted them to think of you,feel the pinch in their shoe.
the greatest and most successful leadership is that which starts, it initiates, it guides, it leads,it sets a pace,it goes beforehand.it has to start from you and believe me when you tell someone to do that which even you have proven capable they will want to respond simply because you have been humble enough to do it.do you think the disciples would have refused to serve others after they had been served by the most high?Jesus was wise...very wise.when you don't do it you get resistance, either passive resistance or active resistance.
if you like someone to spend time with you,start saving time for them, if you want someone to be considerate be considerate with them, if you want to be shown love, show love....the list is endless but i think yo get my point.
the golden rule still stands "do unto other what you want done unto you".let stop this pragmatic behavior of putting harsh standards to others yet we ourselves don't have the guts to stick by them.i want to be a woman of my word, in that the same way i will judge others and the things i will expect from them will be the same things i will have. i will crucify myself with my words and be the example that i wish to see in others.chances are i will shut my mouth more often and i will be more understanding of others faults and inequities.i will end up being prudent in my choice of action.(this sounds good ....)
no longer should we tolerate that dangerous form of mediocrity(yes it it mediocre!) in ourselves.we set the bar, we set the pace, we rise to the occasion, we stand by our word, we are what we expect...

we are the standard...set a good one.
