The Hypnotic Lure of Mediocrity
There’s a slippery slope.
A potential crash.
I need to slap myself awake.
I write this blog every day (and have done so since January 1, 2018). I have every intention of continuing. This is a healthy place for me to think out loud and practice in public. This blog is for me, as much as it is for anyone it may (or may not) help.
But there’s a slippery slope. Oncoming traffic on one side and a ditch on the other.
I’m pretty good at cranking out the 200-300 words I need every day to tick “write and post on the blog” off my todo list. Write it.\ Post it.\ File it.\ Be done with it and move on to the next thing.
But am I getting better?
Or am I falling off the razor's edge into the abyss of mediocrity?
I refuse to become aimlessly comfortable.\ Some days need a hard gut check.
This is one of those days.
Daily posting will continue because I need this in my life. But daily posting must also lead me to think concisely, write profoundly, and to live unreservedly.
That's the point.
So, I must pay attention, lest I’m hypnotized by the road, fall asleep at the wheel, and drift into the oncoming traffic of mediocrity.
