Mediocrity has no place in you

Don’t just show up to avoid losing, but show up to win.

“Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.” – Mandy Hale

Mediocrity is the worst enemy of prosperity. You’ve been endowed with a certain mixture of abilities and opportunities that make you unique. No mixture is insignificant.

There’s something within each of us crying out to be above average, to be extraordinary. Being extraordinary doesn’t mean you are better than everybody else, it means you are the best version of yourself.

Don’t just show up to avoid losing, but show up to win. People who live on the defensive never rise above average. When all of your reasons are defensive, your cause almost never succeeds.

It’s time to take the unique, radical and invading move you know you’re supposed to take. Many times, the attempt to maintain balance in life is really just an excuse to be lukewarm.

To shake yourself off from the mediocrity and pain of staying stuck from where you don’t belong, you just need these three ingredients:

• Have trust and belief in that small and soft voice that’s crying out to be above average, that wants to be extraordinary. That wants you to be the eagle that you are born to be, not a chicken.

• Develop your critical thinking skills and act on those generated ideas.

• Enjoy watching yourself taking off to the blue skies because of the developed confidence that will fuel you to transcend what once appeared unreachable or impossible.

Beside your pictures hanging on the walls, how will the next generations – the unborn, feel your presence in your absence. How will their lives be better off and more bearable because of your contribution to your life?

This should be the daily driving question that keeps you going and fired up.
