How High Is Your Bar?

I'm convinced only 4% of the world sets a high enough bar for themselves. Some folks do set a high bar for specific areas  such as academic performance or physical fitness - but few people take themselves seriously enough to set a high bar for themselves in each and every area of their lives.

I'm talking about having clarity regarding:
 1) personal priorities (some think in spiritual terms in this area)
 2) relating to others without coming from a self-centered place (think "emotional fitness")
 3) physical fitness
 4) how you treat your partner or spouse
 5) and academic or career (or self-learning) goals.

Only 4% take themselves seriously enough to consistently pursue these 5 areas in a way that shows that they are equal value and importance. Only a small number have the internal emotional and moral compass to invest themselves in these 5 crucial areas and not settle for a "good-enough" body or a "good-enough" relationship or a "good-enough" attitude toward whatever is in front of them.

So the question is: "how seriously do you take yourself"?
And if you're not part of this 4% - why not? What's keeping you from being the person you were born to be?

This is something for everyone to think about - and to take seriously.
