WHAT SEPARATES BRILLIANCE AND MEDIOCRITY

You may ask yourself what does it even mean to be brilliant, is it when the whole world is praising your golden talent? Is it having a Wikipedia article titled with your name? Or is it to believe in yourself and being bold enough for everyone to know?

For me , the key is to believe in yourself and loving  yourself for  who you are; not  the person  you desire  to be  , or  the  fake mask you  have applied . you don’t  have to try and fit in everywhere  and feel undeserved by attempting to validate yourself. Most importantly, you don’t need to be perfect, no one is! You are the best version of yourself the way nature designed you.

But what if I think that others don’t see the potential in me? What if I let the whole world look at my imperfections? And what if people  don’t  like  the real me, they only like  the perfect, projected  hero who is strong , never  does  anything  wrong  and  cares  for  everyone? If you encounter such feeble thoughts, unfortunately you think wrong.

The invisible barrier  of  mediocrity is in your  way , the  same  border  which  separates  the average Joe from the dazzling geniuses. You must first be who you really are, and do what you need to do in order to have what you really want. You can decide to follow the common route and lead a safe life the way everyone else does. On the contrary , you may take the road less traveled , go  through  various  ups  and downs,  and reach the top and  prove your  significance , but only  if  you are persistent  enough.

Mediocrity is the element holding you  back from expressing yourself, mediocrity is what is telling  you  to play it safe  and not risk it, mediocrity  is what is not letting you take your   next big  step  for  a journey of  a life  time. Remember  , your  success is not  a  destination , but  rather  a journey  with several , mysterious  twists  and turns.

On the  other  hand , to  be  brilliant is to work on weaknesses and  capitalizing them into  strengths , to be  brilliant is to  love  your  flaws and embrace them. To be brilliant is to believe that you can do things considered astronomical by the masses. Most importantly, to be brilliant is to let go of who you are supposed to be, not what the society demands you to be.

Do not forget that to your climb to the summit, you will face many struggles.
