Why pursue mediocrity?

-
This is the transcript from my video 'Why pursue mediocrity' - I hope this message brings you some value, enjoy! 

 Why pursue mediocrity when a world full of excellence awaits for you? 
When faced with our own ambitions and deciding who to be,
Why do we always hold onto mediocrity?
The pursuit of our dreams and happiness should never be held back by something that's always going to be there for us.
Mediocrity isn't going anywhere. 
We'll always have the opportunity to be average. 
If we follow our dreams and fail,
The safety net of being average will catch us and welcome us back.
At least we tried to escape.
Not everyone makes it.
But everyone should at least try.
We're all faced with a choice between mediocrity and greatness,
So why not take the first step towards your dreams,
Instead of starting or aiming towards the safety net of mediocrity.
Your dreams may take a while to flourish,
They may even make you poor,
But spiritually you'll be rich,
Even during the darkest of days where the warmth and safety of mediocrity calls to you,
Tempting you back in.
The strange and lonely path is far more of a success,
Then the predictable and shallow route of an average life,
If you pursue what you truly love,
You'll be smiling in the rain.

cobweb, spiderweb, tree, why pursue mediocrity?

Hope Hill (Poem)

This is a poem I wrote. When Hopelessness meets hope.  Hope Hill The rain drains down the pane, Falling faster, Let the chaos reign. The tired town strains but holds, As a view of madness unfolds. Staring outwards now enticed, Restless hounds uneasy, Clouds awake, The downfall pours, Streets empty as perceived, A chance for solitary, Your pain relieved. Now hurry, Run, Be quick, If you want this trance to stick. Nothing hurts, Nothing matters, Even with your dreams in tatters. Venturing out beyond all reason, Embracing the lonely season. Content with misery, Legs beating down harder than the fall, An incline slippery and steep, As the world vanishes beneath your feet, Consumed by clouds that weep. Reaching the top wasn’t worth the view, A bleak outlook faces you. Even though it hurts still smile, As storms like these only last a while. Make your way down, Rejoin the town, As if it never happe...

Shining Veneto (Poem)

Beneath the sun in shining Veneto, Wondering freely alongside warm radiant houses, Clinging vines embrace the structures, Pastel streets developing, Town life unfolds slowly, Strolling as you wonder, How did you ever forget this? There's love in shining Veneto, Love around every corner, Love propped up by every barstool, Love flies by on every cycle, Enough love to make you a fool. Love in every face that passes, Love on the street, A chance for bliss, In those you meet. I'll learn the language you'll soon see, Then you'll finally be with me. Away from what I know, We'll take our time, To watch our vineyard grow. A new love will mature so pure and true, My answer to life was always you. Take my hand, Lead me to where things don't hurt any more, A small touch of kindness travels a long way, Bypassing cynicism and misery, A new love anchored and here to stay. As our feelings build, The vineya...

How To Stop Mosquitoes From Biting You! (7 Ways To Stop Them!)

Mosquitoes can be a massive nuisance, especially when travelling. Wouldn’t it be great if you could dramatically reduce your risk of getting bitten? The good news is I know how to, as I managed to visit Italy for 2 weeks without getting a single bite! Yes, that is correct, no bites for 2 whole weeks! I didn’t just stay indoors all day and night, I ventured out to ‘high risk’ places in the evening and sat out in the open under artificial lights! Still no bites! Here are my 7 ways to stop mosquitoes from biting you! Enjoy and I hope this helps!: 1. Window sticker for your hotel room: When we travel we always pack a sticker which says ‘Please do not open the window thank you’. We stick this on the handle as the maids who clean the hotel rooms tend to leave the windows open. It may make the room fresher, but it lets in a lot of unnecessary mosquitoes! You can always bring a piece of paper and some tape, just make sure that the sign is written in the native language of the country ...
