Don’t be average. It won’t suit you. 34
All of us need to be capable of change and of generating new ideas. In fact, we need to self- initiate our own change and improvement. The natural offset to this is contentment. Being content with where you are repels any new ideas from reaching you. People who are content don’t make improvements. Next year will be just like this year. Today’s problem is the focus, not its solution.
If you examine the past few months, you may be surprised to see how few new ideas you have developed. We all have had good training in “Don’t complain” and “be happy you have what you have” lessons. They operate beneath the surface and do a good job of lowering possibility. You do not need new ideas once you have settled for what you have.
Create some discontent:
If you want to improve anything, you need new and better ideas. The very first step is to know you are not content with today’s results. Expect there is more to be done, to be enjoyed and to be produced. Decide to surface where you most want significant improvement. Develop a three month project to make it happen. Don’t be content with today. Growth and advancement is natural. Build on that.
There an inner urge for more, for improved conditions, for fulfillment and accomplishment. Everyone wants a clearer path to a great life. Don’t let contentment put a stop to your future.
Work on development of a healthy discontent; see where it can lead. You don’t want to be average!
Sincerly,
Richard R
