Do YOU Conform To Mediocrity?

Here's a question.

Do YOU have a mind of YOUR own?

Do YOU have unique skills and talents?

I'm betting YOU do... just as I do.

So why should we allow society (others) to beat us down into conforming to their mediocrity.

I heard a senior municipal official on radio this morning objecting heatedly to local community residents filling in potholes (some as big as koi ponds) that had not been attended to for over a year. And this, after trying all normal processes to get the municipality to do its job.

What did this absurd official expect? That this community should suffer the continuing disastrous effects (cars tyres and axles were being destroyed beyond repair) of conforming to his mediocrity?

Do YOU really need someone else's permission to change YOUR life... to excel?

Of course not!

Are YOU prepared to step out of line, to stand alone, to break away from the pack, to trust in YOUR own mind, YOUR own talents, to march to the beat of your own drum?

Are YOU ready to take flak for what YOU believe in?

Are YOU ready to give YOURSELF permission to be the best YOU can be?

Then buy yourself a white T-shirt and paint a big red target on it.. and go out there and do something extraordinary that conforms to YOU and YOUR value system.

To succeed in YOUR life means YOU having the courage to take action where others fear to tread... often despite deep and disappointing criticism from many quarters.

Take a step to break away from conforming to the mediocrity imposed by others.

Do something that keeps YOU in control of YOUR life.

Do something that adds to YOUR personal growth.

  1. The timeless classic "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen sums it up for me.
    "A man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace."

    If you think you are not in control ...
    guess what? You are NOT in control.

    If you think you are average, mediocre, ordinary ... guess what!

    However if you think you are in control, exceptional, unique, successful .... guess what!!
    Providing you take ACTION to become these things, otherwise you are just fooling yourself with idle day dreams.
