We all love to strive for excellence.
But honestly, most of the time… it’s not gonna happen.
Now, often people get angry when I say this.
“Don’t say that,” they chide. “Excellence is achievable… you need to motivate yourself!”
It’s such a shame when people misunderstand me… I fully understand the power of positive thinking and motivation. I do motivate myself, daily. Towards mediocrity.
I make sure to look myself in the mirror every morning and muster every positive and cheery thought; every rainbow, every fluffy kitten.
“Scott,” I say, “You have an incredible gift! You’re fantastic! You’re awesome at making completely justified, intuitive and reasonable assumptions! You do ordinary like no-one I know does ordinary! Now go out and have a totally average day!”
So far… it seems to be working ;-P
