From the day you are born until the moment you close your eyes for good, the world provides you with varieties of options to choose from.
You may not have control over what is given to you by the world around you, but you often have the power to receive only what you want. If you see yourself as a victim of your environment and a subject to your fate and destiny, you simply take whatever is given to you without having any say in it. But if you are trained to believe in the power of free will and choose what you want for yourself in life, then you live a different level of life.
The life of mediocrity is the journey of the men and the women who keep compensating for what they can’t have. They accept and make do with what comes to them instead of declaring what they want from life.
You can choose to live a mediocre life and just struggle to keep your head above the water, try to live the average life provided and available within your environment, or otherwise, you can choose to move out of your comfort zone and fight for what you want.
The first path is easy and relatively possible and it is common among common people.
The second one is difficult and unusual but will give you a delightful experience.
