How To Live A Life Of Mediocrity
In today’s post I am going to talk about the formula for living a life of mediocrity. Although you may not think this could not be for you and if so I am very relieved. Yet there is only one thing most people who live or are on the road to a lifestyle of mediocrity. Don’t know and that is what road they are on. Or even better haven’t had time to figure it out yet. So the first place to start when figuring out where in life we are or where we are going.. Is to take a close look and see exactly what we are doing. What plans have we got? What are the goals we have set that we want to achieve and is the timescale measurable.. The first step is analysing what direction we are travelling in is by looking at our surroundings. Who do we surround ourselves with on a day to day basis? What kind of information do we feed into our head on a day to day basis. And what action steps are we taking daily to achieve our goals and our dreams. Are we in the top 99% of the population or at least the top 5% or in the bottom 100%?
In today’s world times are changing very rapidly, the question is are you? We all know that dinosaurs became extinct, and if you do not want to become one of the next dinosaurs. Then you need to look carefully at what actions you are taking on a day to day basis. Are you moving forward or are you on the hamster wheel and if you are what do you need to do to make the changes necessary to ensure that changes. The first thing that is important is that you need a strong enough why.. And it’s not just about having enough money there has got to be something more than that that drives you..Otherwise you could end up with your whole life passing living a lifestyle of complete mediocrity..
Okay in order to define a life of mediocrity or what it is we need to talk about some things that are a low or a mediocre way to live.. Okay lets list some of them below and see if it rings any bells..
1. What Sector Of The Cashflow Quadrant Are You In? Why is this important?
2. Do you work for an employer who tells you when to come to work what to do or when to have a holiday.
3. Who is your mentor? If the person you learn from in a school or university earns 30k a year before tax working a job how are you going to get rich learning from them.
4. Who do you hang around with are they, 1.rich or successful? Or are they 2. negative and broke if they are negative and broke it is quite likely you will be the same too..
5. Most people achieve the average wealth of the 5 persons they spend the most time with.. So if your friends and family are all on benefits what about you?
6 Do you watch a lot of TV ? The average person spends 8 years of their life watching TV.. The great thing about TV for the mediocre person is normally the majority of stuff on TV is either negative or pushing certain views on you subconsciously..
Like for example you may have a job stacking shelves in a shop for 15 years but when you go home and watch a movie of someone being robbed,raped or tortured or on drugs. Or lets not forget terrorists against the good state !! Then your life stacking shelves starts to look like paradise. Even if you are destined after 40 years to get the rewards shown on the video below.
7. Do you look forward to Friday so you can go to the pub and have a few glasses of wine or bottles of beers to forget about your week at work?
8. Do you spend all year saving up to go away for two weeks to Spain so that you feel you actually have some sort of life like a celebrity or rich person, even if it is only for two weeks a year and you stay in budget accommodation..
9. Do you drive a 10 year old Jalopy or work three jobs, so you can afford the car payments on that bottom of the range new car you bought. Or a better quality second hand car?
10. Do you think your next payrise will help you to become rich or think the government should give you a bigger tax break? Or do the lottery every Saturday so you can get the next big win..
If this sounds like you then you my friend are on the road for a life of mediocrity, even if I am not a lifestyle doctor it looks like the writing for your life is on the wall.
But Then That Is Entirely Up To You…
