Justifying Mediocrity In Our Lives

Filed under Thinking Out Loud...

Well at least I’m not as bad as _______. 
How many times have you said that? 

It’s a common excuse we like to use to justify our decisions and the way we live life.  We use the excuse to make ourselves feel better about how poorly we’re doing at something in life.  Think about how we use this…

I don’t work as much as _______. 

I don’t party as much as ______. 

I’m not gone as much as ________. 

My grades aren’t as bad as _______. 

I’m not as overweight as _______. 

My finances aren’t as bad as _________. 

Any way you look at it, you’re settling for mediocrity in your life.  You’re not doing as well as you could be but you’re better than someone else, so you end up just being stuck in the middle.   

What area of your life are you justifying mediocrity in?
