What if someone called you ‘average’, or ‘mediocre’ . Would you be happy with that?
If it kinda stings when the comment is aimed at you , it’s probably because you don’t want to believe that it’s true.
But what if it is?
Then perhaps it’s time you reviewed your personal standards, and took a good look at whether you are settling for less than what you know you are capable of. Perhaps it’s about time you raised your game and put much more effort into – you.
In my job I hear countless people telling me they want to be the best at what they do, and I believe them. Even more than that, I love their enthusiasm and excitement at the thought of being so damn good.
But then comes the sad bit.
It takes much more than enthusiasm and excitement to get there, you need courage, determination and the ability to get straight back up when you are knocked down. It takes hard work and the best you can give. Every day.
I don’t see many people doing that ,even when they have phenomenal potential- which is why it’s sad.
You see, anyone can do average, but few get to outstanding.
It’s tough being the best.
Which is why most people revert back to and stay at……being average.
It’s. Just. Easier.
When you do review your own standards, consider how much you are willing to invest – emotionally, physically and mentally, don’t play games with yourself , get serious about it. Just make it happen.
And every morning when you wake up, make your decision.
Which one of these 2 are you going to be:
Mediocre or Massive?
You are in charge of you.
