When I grow up, I want to be average!

A long time ago on one particularly angsty day in my teens, when my mom tried get me to start thinking about my future by getting out of bed, I declared that all I wanted to be when I grew up was average. My poor mom. I was such a delight to be around.

The thing is, I did turn out to be pretty darn average. Most of us are. But that's not a bad thing - it means we have a lot in common. We can connect, encourage, and commiserate with each other. And we can achieve greatness in our own ways.

For me, accepting my average-ness allows me the freedom to improve. I can always climb a little higher, push a little harder, or try again. No one sets a personal record every day. No one is totally kicking a** at everything. Isn't that a relief?!

This is my commitment to continued improvement. Show up, or shut up.
