but
,
If
I
’
m
Not
Going
to
Be
Special
or
Extraordinary
,
What
’
s
the
Point
?
It
has
become
an
accepted
part
of
our
culture
today
to
believe
that
we
are
all
destined
to
do
something
truly
extraordinary
.
Celebrities
say
it
.
Business
tycoons
say
it
.
Politicians
say
it
.
Even
Oprah
says
it
(
so
it
must
be
true
)
.
Each
and
every
one
of
us
can
be
extraordinary
.
We
all
deserve
greatness
.
The
fact
that
this
statement
is
inherently
contradictory
—
after
all
,
if
everyone
were
extraordinary
,
then
by
definition
no
one
would
be
extraordinary
—
is
missed
by
most
people
.
And
instead
of
questioning
what
we
actually
deserve
or
don
’
t
deserve
,
we
eat
the
message
up
and
ask
for
more
.
Being
“
average
”
has
become
the
new
standard
of
failure
.
The
worst
thing
you
can
be
is
in
the
middle
of
the
pack
,
the
middle
of
the
bell
curve
.
When
a
culture
’
s
standard
of
success
is
to
“
be
extraordinary
,
”
it
then
becomes
better
to
be
at
the
extreme
low
end
of
the
bell
curve
than
to
be
in
the
middle
,
because
at
least
there
you
’
re
still
special
and
deserve
attention
.
Many
people
choose
this
strategy
:
to
prove
to
everyone
that
they
are
the
most
miserable
,
or
the
most
oppressed
,
or
the
most
victimized
.
A
lot
of
people
are
afraid
to
accept
mediocrity
because
they
believe
that
if
they
accept
it
,
they
’
ll
never
achieve
anything
,
never
improve
,
and
that
their
life
won
’
t
matter
.
This
sort
of
thinking
is
dangerous
.
Once
you
accept
the
premise
that
a
life
is
worthwhile
only
if
it
is
truly
notable
and
great
,
then
you
basically
accept
the
fact
that
most
of
the
human
population
(
including
yourself
)
sucks
and
is
worthless
.
And
this
mindset
can
quickly
turn
dangerous
,
to
both
yourself
and
others
.
The
rare
people
who
do
become
truly
exceptional
at
something
do
so
not
because
they
believe
they
’
re
exceptional
.
On
the
contrary
,
they
become
amazing
because
they
’
re
obsessed
with
improvement
.
And
that
obsession
with
improvement
stems
from
an
unerring
belief
that
they
are
,
in
fact
,
not
that
great
at
all
.
It
’
s
anti
-
entitlement
.
People
who
become
great
at
something
become
great
because
they
understand
that
they
’
re
not
already
great
—
they
are
mediocre
,
they
are
average
—
and
that
they
could
be
so
much
better
.
All
of
this
“
every
person
can
be
extraordinary
and
achieve
greatness
”
stuff
is
basically
just
jerking
off
your
ego
.
It
’
s
a
message
that
tastes
good
going
down
,
but
in
reality
is
nothing
more
than
empty
calories
that
make
you
emotionally
fat
and
bloated
,
the
proverbial
Big
Mac
for
your
heart
and
your
brain
.
The
ticket
to
emotional
health
,
like
that
to
physical
health
,
comes
from
eating
your
veggies
—
that
is
,
accepting
the
bland
and
mundane
truths
of
life
:
truths
such
as
“
Your
actions
actually
don
’
t
matter
that
much
in
the
grand
scheme
of
things
”
and
“
The
vast
majority
of
your
life
will
be
boring
and
not
noteworthy
,
and
that
’
s
okay
.
”
This
vegetable
course
will
taste
bad
at
first
.
Very
bad
.
You
will
avoid
accepting
it
.
