I know a lady who collects information regarding health and wellness. She’s part of several health companies and has many other “health based affiliations” but she can’t get healthy personally. Her business cards declare that she should be healthy but she isn’t. Knowledge regarding health doesn’t transfer automatically to being healthy……..application of that knowledge does. There is the “knowing” and then there’s the “doing”……and most people today are literally AFRAID to apply what they know about healthy living because everyone around them is unhealthy, overweight and in love with other various cycles of perpetual stagnation. (coffee, booze, junk food, meds, stinkin thinkin, media addictions, narcotics, fast food etc) The world is overflowing with people who have traded in their dreams for the familiarity, comfort and non judgement zone inside the dysfunctional herd of mediocrity. Failure is the safest place to avoid judgement and attack. The easiest way to avoid the glare of a dysfunctional herd, is to give up and never try to become MORE THAN THE AVERAGE. (and that average gets lower every day by the way) Most people are like this, they seek safety in being “average people pleaser types” who under achieve, in order to make everyone else feel better about how inadequate they are. It’s an illogical and irrational way to live but truth is stranger than fiction of course.
The truth regarding this cycle is very simple, the cycle of you destroying your innate and amazing potential so you don’t stand out, so you make friends with other underachievers and feel safer inside an underachieving society. If everyone around you is a walking and talking shit show, you’ll feel IMMENSE FEAR if you DARE RISE UP even an inch above their low achievement levels. If the people around you are 220lbs, you’ll feel like you don’t fit in at 199lbs…….let alone at 149lbs. If everyone around you makes $60,000 per year, you’ll feel out of place making $100,000……..let alone $500,000. If everyone around you complains about their health and adores their doctor who feeds them toxic and poisonous meds……you’ll feel scared being healthy, let alone leaving that dysfunctional herd in the rear view mirror where they belong. You can’t drag the past with you everywhere you go, you just need to cut it lose and rise up to your full potential……and that has to do with admitting that you want more, that you deserve more and that you’re never going to be happy with anything other than becoming the best version of yourself. Yes, 90% of the world has given up because it’s safer to be less. The question you need to ask yourself is, “do you have the power, energy and desire to be the other 10%….who courageously deals with the meaningless attacks from the herd of mediocrity, as you rise up and flower into your full potential?” Why play small when you were sent here to accomplish great things?
