“You are essentially who you create yourself to be
and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.”
“The true measure of success is
how many times you can bounce back from failure.”
“The discontent and frustration that you feel is entirely your own creation.”
“Dare to dream!
If you did not have the capability to make your wildest wishes come true,
your mind would not have the capacity to conjure such ideas in the first place.
There is no limitation on what you can potentially achieve,
except for the limitation you choose to impose on your own imagination.
What you believe to be possible will always come to pass
to the extent that you deem it possible.
It really is as simple as that.”

“Stay strong, stay positive,
and never give up.”
“Excuses will not take you far,
they will take you out.
The success of your many excuses doesn’t mean you will run away from the work.
It means the work will run away from you!”
“Stay strong,
stay positive,
and never give up.”

Respect your efforts,
respect yourself.
Self-respect leads to self-discipline.
When you have both firmly under your belt,
that's real power.
We all have dreams.
But in order to make dreams come into reality,
it takes an awful lot of determination,
dedication, self-discipline,
and effort

“You may encounter many defeats,
but you must not be defeated.
In fact,
it may be necessary to encounter the defeats,
so you can know who you are,
what you can rise from,
how you can still come out of it.”
“The brick walls are there for a reason.
The brick walls are not there to keep us out.
The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough.
They’re there to stop the other people.”

“Never say that you can't do something,
or that something seems impossible,
or that something can't be done,
no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be;
human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by:
our own minds.
We are each the masters of our own reality;
when we become self-aware to this:
absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself,
and become king of the world around you.
Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear,
or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams.
Never be a victim of life;
be it's conqueror.”

At any moment,
you have a choice,
that either leads you closer to your GOAL
or further away from it.
The biggest lie in choosing is, "I can't."
That is simply not true.
We can do anything we want If we don't do something,
it is because we have committed our time,
energy and resources somewhere else.
Every choice carries a consequence.
For better or worse,
each choice is the unavoidable consequence of its predecessor.
There are not exceptions.
If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment,
why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?
Master your choices,
or become the slave of their consequences.

Do not fear failure.
Fear mediocrity.
If you resolve to NEVER quit then there is no failure,
only setbacks.
It's never too late to become what you could have been...
Mediocrity scares the shit out of me.
Average.
Ordinary.
Standard.
Usual.
Normal.
Typical.
Common.
Customary.
Regular.
Everyday.
The idea that I was conceived, built, grown
and launched into this world to be nothing more than “Run-of-the-mill” is simply unacceptable.
Some may see this as a silly, contrived fear.
How can someone find fear in being average?
Average is safe.
That’s why we all strive to achieve the same things in life…
…safety, security and sanctuary free from scrutiny.
No one second guesses the standard process.
No one questions the usual path.
Because people who break free from mediocrity aren’t normal…
…they’re radicals, rebels, and rabble-rousers.
They wipe their ass with typical.
Typical is the murderer of thought…
the defiler of the idea…
the jailer of genius.
Typical is the synapse you’ve already burned into that genius brain of yours…
…that genius brain of mine, and it leads right to the lizard brain.
The lizard brain wants us all to be the same.
A flock of geese.
A herd of cattle.
Middle management.
The lizard brain tells us to avoid trouble…
“Don’t rock the boat…” and we listen.
So we put in the time,
we pay your dues
and we pray that someday everything works out.
That the cubicle will become an office…
That the hourly wage will become a salary…
That the job will become a career…
That our sensibility will become success…
…hopefully.
Mediocrity is a choice.
We don’t choose to die.
Even if we did, it was going to happen eventually anyway.
Why fear something you can’t avoid?
Not that I want to die, I certainly don’t,
but fear of death just doesn’t seem to make sense.
Death isn’t a choice.
But fear courses through my veins at the possibility of living a typical life.
Debilitating, gut-wrenching, sweat-inducing fear.
Fear of expectations not achieved.
Fear of childhood dreams cast aside for the security of a life not questioned, not critiqued…
Fear of never really being alive.
Never taking a risk.
Never putting myself on display, naked and alone, vulnerable to inquisition.
Never feeling the pain of defeat… of failure.
Fear of average.
Fear of being picked 5th for dodge ball.
Fear of being no different from you.
I don’t mean better than you,
I mean different.
How can I add value to your life if our regular lives are exactly the same.
Am I supposed to help you become more typical?
More mediocre?
More regular?
I fear mediocrity and not death because one is my choice and one is inevitable.
When I death becomes me and I’m given the opportunity to look back on my life it will be my choices that yield regret.
See… I want to dent the world in whatever way I can.
Not because I have some unique gift others are incapable of providing…
…but rather I have the willingness to do so.
Creation Destroys Mediocrity
Ahhhh…
Creation.
My friend.
The bright light in our would be dark, mediocre lives.
Creation is my prayer, my meditation, my savior from leading a mediocre life.
And honestly there is no method to my creation madness.
Maybe one day it’s fabricating a new word to describe something I don’t understand.
The next it might be making my wife laugh so hard she has to pee.
Today’s it’s writing.
My point is this…
Mediocrity is a derivative of our surrender to the lizard brain.
The lizard brain says don’t create, don’t stick out, don’t be different.
There is no safety or security in being different.
Stand out and you will be scrutinized,
you will be criticized,
you will experience failure
and you will feel pain.
Listen to the lizard brain and you will be safe,
you will be secure and you will be mediocre.
But you will never experience what if feels like to be completely awesome,
even if only for a moment…
…and you will certainly never be the person you were conceived,
built, grown and launched into this world to become.
Mediocrity scares the shit out of me.
But as fate would have it, the choice to overcome that fear is mine.
I choose to create.
I hope you will too…
