Rise Above Mediocrity
Posted June 21, 2010
on:
There is nothing more devastating to your self-esteem
than to feel that you are mediocre. Mediocre
adolescents just do what they have to.
It is important for you to rise above such a stifling
and low mentality. You must try to do and be your best
as much as possible. Yo have to remember that you are
great and that God doesn’t create losers.
So, in order to feel better about yourself and excel,
do something that shows others that you are going to
raise above mediocrity today. Do something that makes
you feel special. There is nothing more mundane and
boring than doing something that someone else did. You
want to excel and to do your best.
Some actions take us beyond mediocrity. These are as
follows:
1. Be compassionate towards another person, even if
there is no reward.
2. Do something extra nice for someone else, without
asking for a reward or compensation.
3. Excel at something that you are about to do.
4. Genuinely smile at another person that you walk
past today. You will be cheering them up and you will
feel good as a result as well.
So, try to do things that will make you feel good about
yourself. In the process, you will be helping others feel
good too. And how wonderful is that?

Beautifully put — I agree, to raise your self-esteem you must do esteemable acts!
Might I suggest you do one for yourself and remove the “just another” subtitle on your blog — it’s a subtle putdown, isn’t it? Why not call it “The greatest…!” Your posts are providing tremendous value — I sure wish we had blogging like this when I was in HS.
