I am NOT an average person if effort is the metric we use to determine my “AVERAGENESS.” I take great pride in my self applied mantra that says, “I NEVER DO ANYTHING HALF WAY!” Because of this trait I have become a polarizing force of nature to my family, friends, and colleagues. It’s very uncomfortable for them and me.
I have a T-Shirt that I bought from The Great Branch Warren that says, “MOTIVATED BY THE FEAR OF BEING AVERAGE.” I submit that being average should scare us to death. Afterall, who is attracted to somebody who has settled for a life of mere existence rather than a guy who ignites the world on fire daily with his vision, effort, and his incessant talk of how he’s going to win? Trust me! I love being around self-motivated winners. Wow! Nothing gets in their way. They know precisely what needs to be done and they get it done. A little story: “My coach Justin Dees invited Jose Ramos to train at his gym. I didn’t even know who Jose was but the thing I learned was this. When an alarm went off inside Jose Ramos’ gym bag, he stopped training instantly. He went to his bag and pulled out a plastic container with his next meal in it. He didn’t even heat it up. He sat down on the floor and ate. I was shocked!” Point of this story is that when you are seeking something you stick to the program no matter what. Let nothing get in your way…even food.
When you fall in love you want to give it your all. If she is worth it, you will fight for her with “reckless abandon.” To do this or to seek a lofty prize requires that you put away half-ass efforts and surrender nothing. When this happens, you will cease to be “AVERAGE.” You are no walking on sunshine. You will have just transcended the “AVERAGE” mortal. I was told once that when I get up on stage there are a 1,000 guys who wish they could do what I did. I was surprised….But, now I know it’s true. Many guys wil look at me and wish to be me…..In reality, if they took themselves seriously they could/would blow me off the stage.
Bottom Line: Don’t be Average…..Put in the time and push beyond your comfort zone. Settle for nothing less than your best. You want to be noticed. You want others to see that you are NOT average. Rather you want them to know you are better than you even think you are. Go for it and never let Average or “good enough” be your end game.
