Do you settle for a life of mediocrity?

I do not believe that most of us think about living a life of mediocrity but in truth that is exactly what is happening. 

 Mediocrity is when we do not strive to be our best and stretch ourselves to reach our goals.  If we do not expect the best out of ourselves or others, then we are settling for something less, and if we are settling for something less we are allowing ourselves to get caught in the mediocrity trap of expecting less in life.  I have often found myself being impatient with people because I can’t tolerate incompetence or someone’s lack of interest in their work.  I find myself needing to take a step back and breathe in deeply just to release my frustration with people’s willingness to accept second best for themselves and for others.  I was recently in a restaurant waiting to be served while watching two of the waiters holding their personal conversation and oblivious to the needs of their customers.  That is not even mediocrity, in my opinion that is substandard behavior.  Look around you and you will see what I am speaking to each and every day.  We can cultivate healthy relationships with our children, friends or on the job or we can settle for those experiences that are off balance and even toxic.

 Mediocrity is becoming an epidemic in today’s world because too many people--men, women and children are not striving to succeed. They are not willing to struggle and fight for what they want.  There is a decline in the desire for achievement and a lack of motivation on the part of many to take self-pride in their work and in their lives. 

 I just read an article on how some school districts in the U.S. are making the teachers abide by a dress code, which includes no jeans in the classroom, no tattoos and no body piercing.  I was completely surprised but pleased by the action taken by the various school boards.  There appears to be a movement of back to the basics.  How can we, as a society, expect the children to look presentable, act presentable and use their intellect to their fullest capacity, if those who teach them, and that, includes the parents, do not set the example and become their role model.

 It is time to illustrate the value and importance of striving for excellence for all the children of the world to see and emulate; It is about teaching, encouraging and showing by example. If you want to be a source of empowering others, you must lead by example. It is our job as a society to make every effort to be at our best because if we fail to take the higher road, we will certainly descend further into mediocrity.

  As a civilization, we must look for ways not only for ourselves but for all those who are within our sphere of influence to empower themselves to create higher standards of achievement.  Discuss your values and endeavors with your children and grandchildren. Develop a healthy relationship with them and be pro-active in their lives.  Share stories that will inspire and stir their imagination.  With enthusiasm and conviction, we must strive to raise the intellectual standards of people and specifically the children.  But we will not be successful in gaining their attention if we ourselves do not believe in those principle and/or attributes.  Empower yourself to be the best that you can be daily and led by example.

 Here is a powerful quote from Colin Powell, a retired four-star general in the United States Army and the 65th United States Secretary of State.  He said: “Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.”

 With those powerful words, I will leave you to think and decide what you want for yourself and your children. Everything in life involves relationships.  It is you who must make the right choices for your life and then be a pillar of strength to others; that is how you not only empower yourself but others to live the best life possible.

#FashionFriday #ForwardFriday "Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life"- Bill Cunningham Sending heartfelt prayers up for Bill in a quick recovery from suffering a stroke. He has been one of the most unaffected and genuine fashion industry people that I have ever met. That smile, his joy for fashion and photography has made him a global icon in fashion. He gave me my 1st photo feature in the New York Times and a forever laugh as to why artists must be humble when I work with them cuz I'm always going to do me, especially when they act up. A major record label was paying me to do New York Fashion Week Press rounds with a new artist at the time -whose name I won't mention. We were at a show with Beyonce (pre-Bayhive madness) sitting front row and said new artist sitting second row- While Beyonce was cheesing for the cameras and taking pictures with everyone - said new artist was complaining that she didn't want to take pictures with this 1 and that 1 because it was about her music and not who she is seen with. Well, Beyonce went on to be a mega star, And I ended up in the NYTimes on Bill's page covering fashion at NY Fashion week with said artist standing in the blurred background looking at her phone - and she has not been heard from since in her career 🙊😜😎 I got a chance a few years later to tell Bill this story and we laughed about how attitudes can make and break careers. #StayHumble #CheckYourAttitude #MediocrityIsNotAnOption #StriveForExcellence #OpportunityComesWithTheBlinkOfTheEye #DontBlockYourBlessings #OurGlobalFusion
