Lack of high standards and blame culture contribute to declining hope among America’s youth.

One thing missing is high performance standards

We used to hold ourselves to standards and feel bad if we undershot our potential or got out of shape or failed in relationships

Now, everyone is told “it’s okay as long as you’re trying”

Or, worse, “it’s someone else’s fault”
