Mediocrity: Embraced By The Masses!

"Mediocrity is a form of madness, a dream embraced by the masses because it makes just getting by an acceptable -- sometimes applauded -- social art form."~Guy Finley

Have you embraced mediocrity? Really? Are you excellent in every thing? Do you always strive to be the best that you can be, or do you sometimes slack off...just a little?

We have become a society that makes getting by an art form. Working for the man, doing enough to not get fired, but not going all out to stand above the crowd. Too many people are playing small. The world is not served by your playing small...PLAY BIG!!!

Look at the things you do. What are you an expert at? What are you good at. Where have you settled on being mediocre? I'm sure there are not any places that you would say you are terrible, so let's make mediocre as the bottom rung.

How can you move out of mediocrity? Do you even want to? Or does that frighten you too much. You were meant for so much more, go for it!!!

Let's take a look at settling. One of my favorite quotes says "The place for what you want is currently occupied by what you have settled for." Is that you? Have you settled on mediocrity? I sure hope not...

Live Out Of Your Imagination

"Live out of your imagination, not your history."~Stephen Covey

Are you living out of your history or your imagination? Think about that before you answer...Most of us are living out of our history, whether we realize it or not. We continue to do the same thing, over and over and expect different (better) results. Einstein described that as insanity, yet there we are, doing it again and again.

Sometimes we have a bad history and we continue to punish ourselves by living it over and over again. Here's the thing...at any moment, you can choose to have a different history! You don't have to live in the pain of your past history, because everything works together for you and while you might have experienced loss, there is a silver lining just waiting to be seen! But if you are looking at the door that closed, you will miss it.

What does it mean to "live out of your imagination?" Do you know? I think that it means that as we imagine things, we should strive for them, rather than just think about them and do nothing. Think of a time when you had a good idea...thought about it for a while...AND THEN FORGOT IT! The universe likes speed and you need to capitalize on that. Don't let fear hold you back from "Living out of your imagination..."

"Live out of your imagination, not your history."

"Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?"~Jim Rohn

Why, when you have been given the "dignity of choice" would anyone choose to be less than they can be? Is it because it's too hard? Is it too much work? Does it interfere with your surfing on the web or playing video games or the Wii?

A tree, given no choice, simply grows and grows and grows until it dies. I've been to most of the National Parks in the country, and I have seen some weird growing trees, around rocks, through rocks, trees shaped like a Z to grow around an obstruction...but still growing.

You being less than you can be does nothing for the world or yourself. Why play that game? There is so much more out there for you to go after...DO IT! Stretch to the full measure of what you've been put here to do and DO IT! Don't wait for someone else to tell you what to do, but if you need permission to DO IT, I GIVE YOU PERMISSION.

Mark Twain said that "In 5 years, you will be more upset about the things that you didn't do, instead of the things that you did do." Don't regret not doing what you were meant to do.
