Mediocre Thinking
You may be a positive thinker, yet your thinking could, in fact, be mediocre. Do you think you’re quite good at your job? Are you a pretty good family person, friend, or athlete? Is your thinking rarely unusual? Do you feel comfortable being one of the crowd? Nothing average ever stood as a monument to progress. When progress is looking for a partner it doesn't turn to those who believe
that they are only average. It turns instead to those who are forever searching and striving to become the best they possibly can. If we seek the average level, we cannot hope to achieve a higher level of success. The only hope is to avoid being a failure.
Here is a typical example of such a mediocre thinker: Asha, a good-hearted woman, owns a modest home, drives an ordinary car, and lives a reasonably comfortable life. She doesn't aspire to the best things in life because she doesn't believe she could ever have them. Although she has some worthwhile goals, she is not excited about achieving them. She gets along quite well with others because she avoids conflict and does not make waves. Asha's mediocre thinking began early in life because, sadly, her parents constantly denigrated her intellect, behaviour, and aspirations. She was continually told that she couldn't have what she wanted and that she must compromise. To this day Asha avoids taking actions that might evoke disapproval from others. Having settled for second best all her life, at forty-four she has not overcome her early restrictive conditioning.
Are you a mediocre thinker? When people ask you how you are, do you automatically respond with "not bad," "okay", or "pretty good"? Many people are in the habit of responding in mediocre terms instead of considering their options and figuring out a reply that is in their best interest. Most people are committed to this middle-of-the-road form of thinking.
