I have this fear. A fear of being extraordinary, created by the belief that I will never be enough. That I will reach the tipping point of greatness only to fall short. So, you might say for the most part of my life, I found it "easier" to sit back... let life pass me by and accept the bare minimum. Where did that mindset get me? NO WHERE. Matter of fact, it wasn't easy at all... it is hard actively achieving the minimum amount of effort (if you want to call that an achievement at all) in fear of the fact that I might actually kick ass at something. What drove that belief????? EXPECTATIONS, and not mine. The expectations everybody else had for me in place of my own. Instead of asking myself what mattered to me, I asked other people what mattered to them whether it agreed with it or not. Years have gone by and here I am, living a life for others. Now don't get me wrong, I've done some pretty good things in my life. Mediocrity wasn't always an option ...
