Is Mediocre Enough?

This post is going to be mediocre. Yes, I have set the bar low enough to be vaulted with little to no effort. Already, I have exceeded expectations...

Maybe we expect too much? Maybe our goals are too lofty, our standards are too high, our scorecards are too strict...

Or maybe we just want spectacular. We want to feel the backs of our necks tingle, the hairs on our arms stand up... we want to feel goosebumps and have trouble catching our breath because what we've witnessed is so amazing, beautiful, life-changing...

It starts with aiming high on paper, hitting low in reality, and eventually matching paper to reality.

Mediocre now becomes amazing later... but only if you push yourself through the times you feel mediocre. Only if you learn from your mistakes. Attempt, evaluate, adjust, rinse, repeat.

But even mediocre is better than nothing. Nothing might as well be... well, it really isn't anything so nothing can go fuck itself...
