Did you know there is a pill to keep you average?
More than 80% of the people in the world are on this
medication (pill).
This pill is free. It has no side effects (visible). It’s said
to be safe.
Your boss and co-workers are glad that you take them.
Your family would like you to get off this pill, but they
are afraid of what “may” happen if things don’t work out.
So, they would rather you continue taking this pill versus
trying something that may not work or getting off the pill
altogether. Then, average would not be acceptable and
a lifestyle of trying various things is too unsettling for
them.
You, in the back of your mind, know you shouldn’t be
taking this pill. You know you can do better without it,
but you have been taking it for so long, you are kind of
“used” to it. Besides, its not that bad- considering.
Have you guessed what the pill is?
It is “Complacency”.
When a person becomes complacent, she stops looking
for new ways. She becomes conditioned to “life as usual.”
She knows in her mind that there are a lot of opportunities
that awaits her. She knows that she could possibly change
the world if she takes a chance. But, her mind and heart
have taken up residence where she is. She’s comfort-
able. Life is not great, but it ain’t too bad.
Complacency is the thief of creativity. It is the barrier
to new ground. Whatever lies beyond what we know and
where we could go- is stifled
or hidden by complacency.
Complacency is following the routine. Doing what
everybody else is doing. Becoming a clone in “Average”
society. It keeps us comfortable, yet uneventful.
We were all given a unique set of gifts and allowed the
opportunity to visit this world to share those gifts. If we
leave here without sharing our gifts, it is as if we were
never here. We were never put on the earth to forever
“follow the leader”. We are supposed to follow the leader
until we have learned to lead, ourselves. And then, we are
to take our gifts and reveal things to this world like no one
else can. Besides, no one can do what you can. You are unique.
You have a special set of gifts that only you can share
with the world.
So, what are you waiting for? Get out of that complacent
house, shed those complacent clothes and get out of that
complacent mindset and make heaven proud by doing what
you were sent here to do- “Be you and share your gifts!”
The world is waiting on you. There are no more refills
on your average pills. Yesterday was your last day of
average. Today, you will do things like no one else.
Tomorrow, you will use your gifts and talents to sign your
name on this earth, because of what you did and shared
with the world, we will know that “You were here.”
