No one likes mediocrity but many settle for it because they don’t realize that experiencing their God-given potential is actually possible.  However, it requires self leadership, vision, and a commitment to moving your story forward.  Although contrary to pop culture wisdom, you can’t become anyone you want to become.  You can however, become the very best you if you are willing to lead yourself well and pay attention to your unique design and harvest the vision that lies within.  Mediocrity means settling for anything less than your God-given potential.  Assuming you believe in a divine creator, it is important to discover exactly what He had in mind when He created you.  My experience is that He won’t do all the work for us but helps us discover and find the courage to re-arrange our lives towards our true potential.  Each day then begins to have new meaning and purpose and our stories move forward.  It is a great feeling to know we are stewarding our lives in a way that will lead us to finish well.
