THE AVERAGE

not enough as it should be

The Average

"AVERAGE" Not just an word but an emotion that connects many people. Being called an average has started to make me feel worst. I always question my self why am I average in everything I know how to cook but I am not extra-ordinary cook, I can sing but don't have a good voice, I can dance but not like pro-dancers, I study but still get average marks just be an average student. What does it take to cross the line of average that is not only ruining my confidence but also making me feel bad about myself.

So, To cross "the average line" I found that few things are extremely important for every individual to know.

1. You can't be perfect at every skills or everything you do. There will be time when you will mess up, You will fail and you will make mistake. So, you need to know these things are absolutely normal.

Therefore, choose one skill that you would like to master and focus on that thing. And let go of the feeling that you can't do it.

2. Always believe in yourself and your potential. You have a lots and lots of potential. I can't even imagine of. So, don't get scared of failure cause it is the pathway to success. Try and Try but never give up. That will separate you from most of the people. When they are about to give up but you will still show up like nothing ever happened.

3. To know that you won't be liked by everybody, whatever you do either it's good or bad there will be somebody who will still hate you or dislike you and remember one thing people only hate those who they can't become or because you have something they couldn't have.

4. Learn to work hard and turn your hardships into success. You now need to not only get out of your comfort zone but also have to stop being lazy. Laziness kills dreams and that brings regrets in your life. So, better have the pain of discipline than having the pain of regret. You can do so much better by just trying.

5. Set your boundaries and standards. One of the best advice that I got was" Don't eat from each and every dishes or plates that you are served." And that's not about food actually. That's about life. We can't let people do whatever they want. We can't let them hurt us, so to prevent that we need to set boundaries.

Finally, you can't be hanging out with everyone so, choose your friends wisely. Friends who support your dreams and help you move forward towards it not those who talk behind your back and want to see you fail.

6. To cross the average line, you need to be willing to change. You need to bring discipline in your life. You must manage your time effectively. Focusing on self development or personality development can help you move one step forward. Now during the process, you can't get sick right so, you need to focus on your diet too.

7. Manage your stress and pressure. You can't live your life happily if it is full of pressure. Let go of stress and try to be calm and patient. Be aware of the fact that every thing happens for good and nobody can take things or opportunities form you that is meant for you. God has better plans for you and you just have to trust him.

8. Don't compare yourself with others. It's the last thing to do. Nobody can play your role better than you.

Nowadays, people have started comparing their lifestyle with the virtual world, where they see people living their dream life, happy life and perfect photos, posts and videos. You don't know the reality. So, don't fool yourself thinking that their life's perfect. People just show thing that seems perfect. They do have to go through hardships. So, focus on yourself not others.

9. Be your own supporting system. If nobody claps for you, clap for yourself. If nobody is helping you, help yourself. Do it alone if it's needed to be done.

10. Most importantly, Be financially independent. Don't you ever think that someone will earn for you and feed you. That's never gonna happen. Take more risks and make things come to your place. Make your own money and spend your own. That gives you freedom.

Lastly, Be yourself. Don't try to copy other. Be unique. Be different. You don't actually have to care what people think. That's none of your business. You do your best and live a life full of achievements and progress. You don't have to show people what you got, they will eventually know it later. You are priceless and let nobody bring you down.

You might feel that you are average, but that's wrong you are above average. You are build different and makes you shine. Always have faith in yourself that one day, you will have it all that you have ever dreamed of. Therefore, BE GOOD & DO GOOD.
