Do you live by the same standards that you ask/expect from others?!

What about "Do as I say and do as I do, because they are the same thing"?

Sounds very human to me. :-)

Very well. They seem to suit you, and those around you. :-)

I expect more from myself than from others

Yes.  I expect a lot from myself and of others.

I certainly try to. I think this is a very hard concept for most of us. Many times we expect things out of others we ourselves won't touch with our little finger. :-)

not really. Well sort of. I try to live by the same standards, but I'm quite hard on myself when I fall short of them, yet forgiving when others do.

I see.

But why expect more from yourself than others? Be careful not to expect too much from yourself. Make it a balanced approach, if you do what you expect from others it should be sufficient.

Then we might have to revise our expectations. :-)

I understand where you comment from, but you need to find the same forgiveness that you offer others. :-)

I know :) it's something I'm working on!

Being aware is first step. You're on your way. :-)
