Leave mediocrity behind
In my life I’ve been surrounded by a lot of mediocrity and complacency.
It’s not an environment I want to be around and often choose to isolate myself – knowing all too well that it’s contagious – and that I am meant for so much more. We each are.
Being raised in mediocrity, I’m aware that it’s also my default, so I have to consciously choose to be more – by taking the right actions – to ensure that my life, and the lives of my children turn out differently.
We become a product of our environment and our upbringing – unless we consciously choose otherwise.
We are each responsible to audit our inputs – what we read, listen to and watch. Be vigilant with this.
We are each responsible for choosing how we spend our time and with whom – and what the quality of those conversations are like.
I want so much more out of life and to be able to give back ten fold.
So… I continue to work on me with the intention of becoming the best version of me and modelling a different way – through my actions – not my words.
I don’t understand why some people don’t want more for themselves – and even that judgement shows me where I have more work to do on myself and where I need to let go of attachments.
Yes, we’re each on our own journey.
Yes, everything is happening right on time.
And yet, I find my personality or ego – wanting more for people – now.
What I know for sure is that it’s important to surround yourself with people who will hold you to a higher standard – people who believe in you and know you can be and do more.
They call you on your shit.
They tell you the truth.
They won’t let you keep playing small when you have so much to offer the world.
Unfortunately, if you’re comfortable being mediocre or complacent – then you’re probably not going to receive their words with the intent they were given.
It will likely feel harsh and you’ll probably just get offended.
It’s time to decide if you want to be all that you were born to be – to step into your greatness, to reveal your magnificence – and finally get out of the mediocrity trap…
… or continue playing small.
It’s up to you.
