📙 “Mediocrity doesn’t just happen suddenly; it develops slowly over time!” 💡
How this happen?!

💹 [When we start our career or an exciting project, everything is new. We throw ourselves into the work with full vigor, because we know that we need to prove our worth to our manager or clients. We put our best foot forward because we want to win the respect and approval of our potential partner] 

😥 [However, over time familiarity sets in and some of the aspects that once seemed new and exciting become predictable and mundane. The tasks we perform no longer stretch us, and some of them we can even do on autopilot. We’ve lost the thrill of the challenge]

💫 [The Downside of Success: “I’m still doing my work, but I don’t get the same level of satisfaction I once did. I’m making progress, but I don’t feel like I’m making important progress”]

🍎 [Please note that Mediocrity doesn’t mean doing poor work or failing to achieve success in your career. You can appear very successful to others, but know deep down that you’re settling]

🎯 [Mediocrity: doesn’t always mean underperforming—it means to settle halfway to the summit of a difficult mountain. It’s a negotiation between the drive to excel and the biological urge to settle for the most comfortable option]

🐝 [“Seven Deadly Sins of Mediocrity”: they’re common and destructive slipping points” #Aimlessness #Boredom #Comfort #Delusion #Ego #Fear #Guardedness]

Reflections:
💡 To win a battle, know your enemy well, to be able to defeat it …. “Mediocrity is our enemy”!
