THE GRIND NEEDS YOU TO STOP BEING MEDIOCRE

There are a lot of people out there including me at times, who kill themselves over problems they can solve. I can say without a shadow of doubt, it may not be easy to find solutions but it is simple. The reason why people think it’s hard to be extraordinary with their lives is based on the notation that their circumstances seem difficult to change- like there’s no way out.

Many people deprive themselves of a lot of things which have the chance to fulfil them and give them the lives of their dreams (I know it’s a cliché thing to say but it needs to be said). Many people deprive themselves of opportunities.

They think they are undeserving of achieving anything while others think they don’t have it in them to succeed. We as the human race kill ourselves mentally. We get caught up at times in bad thoughts that consume our energy and time. We tend to feel guilty and kill ourselves over the smallest of things, things which are just micro impactful.

Opportunities lie outside your comfort zone. People like being comfortable because they get a sense of safety and security. That “safety and security” state is the most unsafe and unsecure position to be in. How are you going to accumulate wealth and have nice things if you aren’t willing to make sacrifices and take chances? How are you going to be remembered to be the greatest mind that ever lived if you are comfortable being comfortable?

Majority of our society is infected with the “lazy virus.” This virus is eating motivation, resilience and flair in people. It is oppressing them and making them believe that being mediocre is good enough. Mediocrity does nothing but kill the soul. It kills the unlimited gasp of courage many people have.

Being average is not cool. Leverage that, then you’ll get to live a great life.
