Respect

I am sometimes afraid that my standards are too low. I could ask for more, reach out and take more, do more, be more. But then other things come up and I am afraid that my standards are too high.

I realize that one does not necessarily negate the other, but I have never been good at settling for something less and I am not good at pretending to be satisfied when I am not. My earliest memories are of being expected to seek the best...answer, result, situation, whatever it is that I am involved with. Less than this is demeaning to me and all those I love and respect.
