Why Do We Fall into the Habit of Settling for Average?

Average is the norm for a reason. Being exceptional demands extra effort, sustained inspiration, and uncommon discipline.

When we attempt to give flight to our dreams, we have to overcome the weight of opposition. Like gravity, life's circumstances constantly pull on our dreams, tugging us down to mediocrity.

Most of us don't pay the price to overcome the opposition to our dreams. We may start out inspired, but through time we fatigue. Although never intending to abandon our dreams, we begin to make concessions here and there. Through time, our lives become mundane, and our dreams slip away.

Hold on tight and push on through… whatever your dream may be.
