Shun Mediocrity

Have you ever looked at the mirror and said to yourself, "I am a mediocre"? Surprising that this feeling resonates sometimes and the feeling of self-doubt kicks in.

We are all born winners in our own special way. Don't get me wrong! There's absolutely no doubt that we can continue improving every single moment of our lives, but there's no reason to wonder that we are less than anyone else. All of us need to compare ourselves with our own past. We have to compete with ourselves, be better each single day.

It's time to shun mediocrity!!!
Let's commit to becoming a Verb.

One of my favorite quotes is:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt
