As the prominent and prolific spiritual and emotional teacher and scientist Dr. David Hawkins stated: “The unconscious will allow us to have only what we believe we deserve. If we have a small view of ourselves, then what we deserve is poverty. And our unconscious will see to it that we have that actuality.”21 To make something a new standard, you stop saying yes to the 80 percent—your now 2x identity and standards—that no longer fits. You embrace rejection and learning at the new standard until you reach a place of capability and confidence at the new standard.
