It is possible to take a path that will lead you nowhere —
well, nowhere you want to be in life.
This path you accidentally take is a result of the small decisions you make every day. They are decisions you make all the time that don't always seem very important, and in many cases you are not even aware them. These thoughts often come disguised as excuses or things you tell yourself on repeat or decisions you don’t see as life-changing when in fact they are very significant.
Long ago I shelved everything inside of me and walked down the path of
mediocrity for many years. I woke up every day feeling like I wasn’t the
right person. It felt weird. All of my hopes remained hopes and any
opportunities to embrace who I was or what I wanted were ignored.
In light of breaking free of this temporary, semi-isolated, existence we all find ourselves in at this moment, do you really want to continue to accidentally walk down the path of mediocrity and be separated from where you want to be in life?
Instead how about you try to keep going when you don’t feel like it, be the best you can be to the people that matter and remember quality is subjective, examine every part of your life and remove the things that cause atrophy, and do the small things well.
We are not born mediocre. We make little decisions day by day
that lead us down the path we call “unsuccessful”. So remember, if they
are decisions we make, that means we are in control and we can get on
the right path.
