Jack Welch, famed CEO of General Electric, in a recent book talked about how he got "out of the pile" early in his career. He set himself apart from the rest of the "normal" employees and that made all the difference.(And for those that have not heard... he also blew up a manufacturing facility ... and his career survived.)
On the other hand, it might feel sometimes like you are the "Mole" in the "Whack-a-Mole" game (see photo, copied from this website)... every time you pop your head up with something new or different, there is someone there to WHACK you back down.
Sometimes you just have to play a different game ... and not settle for mediocrity!
A recent article titled "Avoiding Mediocrity: Do You Dare to Be Different?" from lifehack.org is deceptively easy to read... but, for some of us, incredibly difficult to put into action in your life. The author, Donald Latumahina, poses the following questions...
Do you dare to be different?
1. Do you have a dream?
2. Are you doing what you want or what you should?
3. Do you worry more about being loved than being what you love?
4. Do you choose what is safe rather than what is right?
5. If you had only six months left to live, would you do what
you are doing now?

Then, ask yourself... "Are you the person you want to be?"
Can you Dare to Believe... in yourself?
