Every morning, each of us has two choices: you wake up and have a purpose in your mind,something to aim for,or, you accept living in mediocrity. Unfortunately,I think that I am in the second situation. Honestly,I'm still trying to figure out why this is happening. I feel that mediocrity is that permanent mood of ''not caring''. It's not that ''type of indifference'' like you don't care what you are wearing,if your hair looks good enough or if your lipstick stays in place. Is that type of indifference,that when you feel it,you need to ask yourself a few questions and if you don't do something soon your life will start collapsing or stay at the same level you are now.
Hmmm,let me think if I can find a good comparison for this. No,I can't. I'll tell you how it feels. You wake up,you start preparing yourself for work or school but there is nothing in your mind that you would fight for. You just wake up,prepare,go to work/school,you meet people,you socialize,laugh have a good time,you come home,relax and then you go to sleep,waiting for the next day to start it all over again. Everything is normal,but something is missing : THE PURPOSE.
Saying purpose i think about hope,yeah hope. The foundation of life. Hope is the foundation of life and this keeps us alive. I think that mediocrity comes when your aims,dreams,targets don't exist anymore. Of course,there are a few points on your to do list,like having good grades,having enough money to pay your bills and stuff like that. Mediocrity comes when you accept your situation,when you convince yourself that there is nothing more to do,that you need to accept the economical situation or the unwritten laws that tell you what job to choose,what principals you need to have and what is good for '' a normal life''.
I've been told that my goals are foolish,that they don't have any credibility,that they won't be able to support me financially,that they are only stupid dreams and I need to think about something more realistic. I think that there are two kinds of people:The ones who dare to cross their limits and do what they think is good for them and those who think about their comfort.
Let's make an exercise: think about your last big goal,that you set in your mind,something that you dreamed of every day,every night,for a longer period of time. Something that when you were thinking about made your mind fly far away and your mind was telling you to keep going. Did you ever had such an ''experience''? Don't be shocked if your answer is no. But,there could also be a positive answer. If not,start by setting a goal right now! Last time when I felt something like this was the last year and the beginning of this year. It was a big goal and dream of mine,that followed me for two years. That was my only target,the biggest purpose I had. After two years of hard working,tears and people telling me :You'll never gonna make it! I finally did it! I doesn't matter which was that dream (maybe in another post I'll talk about it).
In conclusion,STOP living in mediocrity. If you want something,no matter hoooow stupid it is,do your best to make it! Stop living in mediocrity! Start living for a purpose! If you want to go to New York,wake up every morning and think about that! Do your best and all the things that you think that could help you to get there and start working on your dream! Close your ears to the people who tell you you can't do something,you aren't talented enough or your dreams are pure stupidity. People who only live by seeing the things that surround them and only see the limits (given by economy,standards or anything else like that) are blinded by comfort. Once I've read a quote that was saying something like that: Teenagers are the only ones,that when it comes to their dreams would do anything to fulfill them''. That is like saying that only in your teenage years you are willing to do anything for your dream. If that was true,than none of the big events,inventions and people would exist today!
Reminder! Before falling asleep,thing about your goal,your dream and wake up in the morning ready to fulfill it!
