"Self love. Self improvement. Self blablabla". These words are just not speaking to all of us. Some roll their eyes. Some laugh. Some cry. Or get sick only by hearing the word "personal development". But the truth is: your mind holds the power of bringing your life from being average to awesome! If you choose not to work on yourself and your mindset, you choose average. Are you OK with that? Will the 92 year old you, stuck in your chair, be OK with that?”
Some have said to me: but I want average! That's EXACTLY how I want to live my life!I I want to go to my 9-5, get my work done, get home and do my hobby, just relax or spend time with family or friends, play with my kids, if I have minions, and go to bed. Perfect! An average, square, beautiful life! THAT IS what I desire!"
I totally understand this! For some, this kind of lifestyle described in the paragraph above, really is perfect. And there is nothing wrong with that! Many people would kill for this kind of "average" life! It's not a secret that people who suffer from any disease miss just this: their everyday life. Their 9-5.
Listen carefully: WHAT you do is not what makes you average or awesome. HOW you do it, does. How you FEEL doing it, does.
A teacher can be average. Or awesome. A stay- home- mum can be average. Or awesome. A business owner can be average. Or awesome. A world known celebrity can be average. Or totally awesome!
Let me tell you this: The average person does not live an awesome life.
How can we tell? In the way average people speak and act! The way we speak and act are a result of what we think; how we use our minds!
Average people are more afraid of being judged by others than giving up on their dream.
Average people blame others, or the society, for their struggles. “I'm single because all the good men/women are taken!”
Average people fear changes. “No, I better stay in this job. I am lucky just to have one (even though it's killing me softly..)!” or “I better not leave my girlfriend even though I don't love her anymore. She's better than no girlfriend”.
Average people are so afraid of rejection that they barely try.
Average people are so obsessed about being liked by everyone that they forget who they truly are.
Average people live their lives aligned with other people's expectations. “People will think I've lost it!”
Average people are feeling … average!
The worst part: most of the time, people are not even aware of themselves having these average beliefs, making these average choices and taking these average actions on an everyday basis. It has become our normal. Our average.
The best part: we can change it! EVERYONE can change it and make their lives so much more fulfilling and fun: no matter WHAT you chose to do!!
Yes, there will be doubt, bad days and “not so awesome” feelings''. But if you decide to change your mind into an AWESOME MIND, and actually do the work it takes, your mind can take you anywhere you want to go. Do you understand? The way you use your mind can shift your reality. Your human mind, of ALL MINDS YOU COULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN, is THE #1 ON THIS PLANET! Choose to use it to your advantage.
