Mediocrity

If you had only six months left to live, would you do what you are doing now?

You can only answer “yes” to this question if what you are doing matters to you. Doing what matters to you is a sure way to excellence since you will do it with all your heart. But you need the courage to be different and follow your heart. Do you have it? I hope your answer is yes. Life is too precious to be lived in mediocrity.

The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone, is likely to find himself in places, no one has ever been before… Avoid people who make you fear the journey you're about to embark upon...The fear of being perceived as different, the fear of being ridiculed, the fear of failing, the fear of not maintaining the status quo, ad nauseum ad infinitum.

Do what you love. Feel the satisfaction.

1. Confronting Mediocrity Takes Thinking Clearly;
2. Overcoming Mediocrity Means Living Differently;
3. Combating Mediocrity Requires Fighting Fiercely;
4. Resisting Mediocrity Includes Standing Courageously
