Living Up to Our Standards

We are always quick to judge, always quick to set standards for others,
but when things happen to us, do we live up to our standards?
Do we rise above the things that try to put us down?

The hardest thing is to find something positive about something that appears to be bad or is bad.
But we need to act upon something and not let something push us down.
We need to find a way to make something better, rather than let it get to us.

It's hard to distinguish between not caring what others think, and being rude to everyone because it just doesnt matter.
It matters. We need to place ourselves in others shoes.
But we can't let other peoples thoughts get to us.

We need to live up to our own standards,
but as humbled, selfless people.
We need to not look down on others, but encourage others.
We need to not give up on things, then we hit a wall.
We need to find another way around it,
Because if we don't how can life take us anywhere at all?
