Say NO To Being Average!

You go through the internet each day and you notice that there are so many career paths you obviously didn’t know exist. Oh yes, there are. But that’s not the case there, what bothers you is which career path you should take or maybe you’ve chosen already but you feel something is wrong. You are not just getting it, you know you’re not at your best and you simply know you can do better. More still, you want people to sort of distinguish you from the rest.

You can never mention a list of business gurus without including any of these names: Henry Ford, R. H Macy, Soichiro Honda, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, F. W. Woolworth, Akio Morita and
Harland David Sanders. I bet you will also create a list of scientists and thinkers and omit any of these names: Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Robert Goddard, Isaac Newton, Socrates and Robert Sternberg. What about omitting the names of Thomas Edison and Orville and Wilbur Wright from a list of world inventors, are you really going to do that? Of course not! These names certainly pop into our heads with regards to the kind of careers they ventured into. Mind you, so many other people have ventured into their kind of careers but these names are just phenomenal, you simply can leave them out. They are different from the rest!

You have to get one thing straight, the way in which you can distinguish yourself from any career path you have chosen or you plan to take is to be more than average. You will agree that average is the normal standard. Almost everyone you come across could be average, just a few people are better than average and that’s the reason why they are outstanding.

You might be among people who think you are the best meanwhile you know within you that you’re not there. You are far from being at your best, you know that you’re not even up to average. But they think you’re the best simply because you put an extra effort to your work while, they in fact don’t put in that extra effort. The case here is simple, you’re not better than average and they are even farther from being average compared to you! So don’t think because people probably see you as the best for a job means you’re better than average.

Sometimes, no one wants to be average, but if you sit down and think about how you tend to do things; how your life is; the type of work you are putting out or want to put out, you just might fall under the average category. There is no career you want to venture into that doesn’t have phenomenal names, and nothing says your name can’t standout in the minds of people when they talk about your kind of career.

There are certain things you can do to move from being average to being outstanding and extraordinary:

1. Work on your intellect

You have to be optimistic and convince yourself that you can be better than average. Your thoughts are very important, the power of belief is staggering. No one can convince you that you can do better if you haven’t convinced yourself in the first place. The way you think can affect you positively or adversely. If you believe you are average, you will inevitably be average. You don’t have to speak less of yourself than you truly are, you’re only doing yourself a disservice. It’s like you are pretty much insulting what ever level it is that you are in life. You don’t have to sound proud, but you also don’t have to talk down on yourself.
If you keep thinking you are small, you might keep going towards that direction. You really don’t have to openly brag about you being bigger and better than someone else but tell yourself the truth and never talk down on yourself. You might rather say that you haven’t gotten to where to want or you can do better. If you believe you are great, doors will start opening for you. Put some effort into convincing yourself that you’re not just another average person. Convince yourself that being average is a limit. Keep reminding yourself that you are limitless.

2. Put in your best effort

“What you seek is seeking you” is one a quote by Rumi and the best case scenario is when what you are after comes after you. Success is extremely attractive, so one of the best ways to attract what you want is by demonstrating your success. Prove to anyone who met you that you are above the average category. If you want someone to consider you for your dream job, make it a point to show them why you are the person’s dream employee. The smartest simplest way to do that is to always put in your best effort. Always try to be that attractive person no matter who it is that you meet, and try make them know that you are above average. If you are giving a piece of advice; give the advice the best way you can. If you’re having a conversation, come from a different stand point. Sort and analyze any situation or topic at hand the best way you can.
