Hey, Being AVERAGE Is EXTRAORDINARY!

Hey, Being AVERAGE Is EXTRAORDINARY!

In a big chunk of my life, I witnessed everyone [and that includes moi] in quest of SUCCESS and swatting away the possibility of being AVERAGE.  BUT I kept asking myself, WHY the hell being AVERAGE is such a sting that carries with it an unspoken stigma, that unshakeable burden of weight on your should which you want to push off as fast and as quick before you get tagged as AVERAGE?   Hey, Being AVERAGE Is EXTRAORDINARY!!!

I admit that for the longest time, I was constantly giving out my darn best to ensure I was GOOD ENOUGH but today, allow me to admit that those episodes in my life were exhausting, to say the least.  Imagine, day-in day-out, angling to be BETTER than AVERAGE?  So, this brings me back to a full circle and ask ourselves, WHY CAN'T we accept AVERAGE?  BUT before I get caught up with words, I am cautious NOT to say "WHY CAN'T I SETTLE FOR AVERAGE" because that in itself is telling❎❎❎

Before I get [WRONGLY] understood, let's face it, by the law of AVERAGES, most of us are AVERAGE.  And there is NOTHING wrong with AVERAGE, yet I'll admit that I kept expecting more from myself.  Now, allow me to admit.  Most of my friends are AVERAGE people living in AVERAGE houses with AVERAGE jobs.  BUT WHAT ISN'T AVERAGE in them are their hearts and souls which are off-the-charts EXTRAORDINARY✅✅✅

Even in the field of human resource where most global companies have embraced AVERAGE as part of the 'bell curving'.  Regrettably, a plurality of workers area of 'bell curving' tend to look at AVERAGE as that stigma to be shunned off.  Zillion times as a manager, I kept harping to my team members that to end up as AVERAGE in the 'bell curving' means he/she has done his job well enough, delivering the goods💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  In defense of being AVERAGE, till to date, a lot of people are afraid to accept mediocrity because they believe that if they accept being MEDIOCRE, then they'll NEVER achieve anything, NEVER improve and that their life WON'T matter anymore.  I really find that sort of thinking skewed and dangerous. WHAT we need to agree on is that in life, everything is a TRADE-OFF, some born with high aptitudes, some got physical skills, some are artistic, some are athletic.  So, we humans come from a wildly diverse group.  AVERAGE is EXTRAORDINARY!!!
