Its not That Bad to be Average
We all want to pursue something great in our lives. And to the extent that its the best. Being the master of all. The life with all royal amenities and the gates of it lined with suite studded guards. You want a good shape. Maybe a good height. Or a permanent cash inflow with a wonderful relationship where your man or woman serve you with bedtime tea.
And for this what you start hitting on. Perfection. Not all of it. But yes , much of it. Doing every therapy to your face, every strain to your biceps and abs and being a great socialite with lots of social media posts as a proof to your newly strewn COOL life. Even branded jeans work at times.
However , this theory of being the best at everything is still a hypothesis for your real going life. Jack of all is okay, but master of all; em, its robotic.
So what I mean by quoting all of this!
Just a simple fact that is so horrifying when you imagine your honeymoon or birthday party with it. Being average is okay. Its good at times. Yes, it is very chewy to digest this verse, but better you accept some of it, thus the best of your life starts oozing out.
When you start accepting your mediocrity in some aspects of your life, it helps you to get rid off the self guilt and anxiety of being just you. It helps you focus on things that you are really good or bad at, and rather working relentlessly on things you maybe unable to improve, acceptance of your cipher character may benefit in polishing the best of your talents and channelizing the energy in other things.
By this , I really don’t mean to give a laid back attitude towards stuff happening around you. Strive hard, improve and work upon drawbacks and try to excel , but only if you want to, not because of any social obligation.
Acceptance of your being average will help you avoid exhibitionism as it serves as a shear waste of time often, allow you to gain the quality of patience and modesty and loop off any part of envy or over confidence inside you.
You may do wonders in cooking but not have a socially aspired waist size. Try to improve if you want for yourself. However adding on it, accept your flaws like you take in your goodies. Its hard. But it changes life.
As Albert Einstein once quoted,
“I am not more gifted than the average human being. If you know anything about history, you would know that is so--what hard times I had in studying and the fact that I do not have a memory like some other people do… I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up on a problem until I have found the proper solution. This is one of my greatest satisfactions in life--solving problems--and the harder they are, the more satisfaction do I get out of them. Maybe you could consider me a bit more patient in continuing with my problem than is the average human being. Now, if you understand what I have just told you, you see that it is not a matter of being more gifted but a matter of being more curious and maybe more patient until you solve a problem.”
Aint no man can avoid being born average, but there aint no man got to be common.
Happy you, lucky them.
