Mediocrity kills the man. Maybe not a death of the flesh but at least of the spirit. When we live in mediocrity there is something in us that is dying and if it lasts too long, or if we resign ourselves to mediocrity as normalcy then our spirit can be in need of life support.

We need a fire in our bellies that drives us to greatness in the things that we love. Isn't that what we all want? Something that we want to be passionate about? I know that I desire that and struggle with the idea of "my passion" constantly. It is a tough proposition and can change a man's life to come to a realization that he has no passion and he is living a mediocre life.

I also know without a doubt that mediocrity is more times than not the easiest path. Less heartache and less resistance, but also less exhilaration and less triumph. I know we all have things we love like our families or things like that. What I am really touching on in this post is the things that we spend the majority of our time on and is it something that we enjoy or get satisfaction from. Are we using our talents and gifts in our careers or are we just working to pay bills and go on a couple of mediocre vacations every year?

You can apply it to every single aspect of your life... your spiritual life, your physical life, your home life, your social life, and your professional life. Once mediocrity sets in these things will go downhill, maybe gradually or maybe quickly, but they will go down hill. I am definitely speaking from experience. I know now that, at least for me, the stakes are too high to not live passionately. We are short for this world and I want to look back at the end of the journey and not think about how I let mediocrity creep in.

This was just on my mind... I know it is short and it has been a while since I have posted but this is something I think is in line with the meaning of this blog.

Let's get rid of mediocrity and find our passions.

Have a good one
