Average People and Success

Sept. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- If you asked each person how they viewed themselves in relation to all the rest of the people, I’d estimate that about 90% of them would say they are “about average”.
But are they?

Bob Proctor, in his latest book, “It’s Not About The Money” mentions that the term “average” has taken on a much different meaning from its standard definition. Because “average” indicates a midpoint. So, by definition, in a room of 100 people, ninety-nine of them are NOT average.

What this simply means is that people use the term “average person” to mean that they’re “normal” or “common”. It gives people a feeling of belonging to the masses, even if it’s far from the truth.
The problem with this is that, if you hold the attitude that you are “average” you will tend to look at high-achievers and think that they have something you don’t. That they are special in some way. Or lucky.
And this is not the case at all!
The truth is that the difference between what you might say is an “average” life and a “wealthy” life is really not large at all. It’s just perception.
It’s this “attitude of average” that keeps people stuck in mediocrity. And you see it in their actions.

If they try something new, they’ll quit quickly. Or they’ll cave into the opinions of the people around them. Or they’ll simply not even try at all, certain that they will never be able to achieve anything like what the “winners” are achieving.
And they’re right.

Because, average people are never successful. After all, that’s why they’re called “average”. If they were successful, they would cease to be in the masses of people who just get by from day to day.

Am I saying there’s no hope for the “average” person? Not at all!
But the answer lies in deciding to become very UNaverage! People who achieve great things always start by believing that they CAN do great things.
And it’s in that moment of discovery that they stop being “average”. Because they’re daring to believe that they CAN achieve something different from everyone else.
How about you?
Do you see yourself as “average”?
Do you think that the great achievers of this world are all better equipped than you? Luckier? More skilled? More educated?
Not usually.

In most cases, they started where you are right now. Right on that brink of discovery that they really can be, do or have whatever they want.
And it’s in that moment when the magic happens.
The “average” person becomes very unaverage. And starts to achieve some very unaverage things.

Average? Not you. Not anymore. Only by choice.
What greatness are YOU choosing today?
