What an eye opener! It is so hard for me (and I’m sure a lot of other people) to admit that I am average! Nobody wants to be average because average is a synonym for ordinary and that is boring.

From the time we are children, our teachers and family convince us that we are special because we possess certain qualities that make us extraordinary. Although it is for motivational purposes, we inherently assume that because we are special we deserve better. It tricks us into believing that people expect something big out of us. WE start to expect something big out of us and that prevents us from grabbing opportunities that come our way due to the fear of failure and disappointing the people that we believe expect something big from us.

Calling yourself average is not to demean yourself or having a low self esteem but it is something that will help you realize you need to work just as hard as anyone else to achieve your dreams. Plus it also takes all that pressure of winning at any cost off of you.

Great read!
