There is a reason you have standards.  There is something within you that nudges you towards greatness.  Your Source is perfection.  As a human, you will never reach this, for by its very existence yours is a world of opposites, yet the pull towards the light versus the darkness is inherent in your journey.  Weeds are as much a part of creation as are roses, yet you are innately drawn to the rose.  Do you see?  This ensures that evolution continues.  The soul is identified with the light, not the darkness.  You may aim for perfection, and you may miss the mark, but do have your standards.  Be aware of not becoming rigid but do walk as directly as you can in the direction of your dreams.  Standards keep you on the path of “ever upward, ever onward.”
