Well I don't know about you but I look around myself and say " HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN" and I'll tell ya the first word that comes to my mind is mediocrity. The ongoing acceptance of less than the best from everything, especially from ones self. This is a stinging indictment of a life not fully lived and of potential never explored or realized. Very interesting concepts on a personal level but even more interesting on a more broad societal level. It all starts with you and I at the individual level of what we are willing to accept from ourselves. All too often I know I accept mediocrity from myself so how can I expect anything more from anyone else. This is the conundrum I find myself in and I am beginning to understand that it isn't the attainment of the best but the unending, constant pursuit of the best from within that is the key and makes it all worth it. At this point I am still very far from this state but I know that just the awareness of this is a huge step in the right direction.
