Kindle Notes & Highlights
by
Mark Manson
Our culture today is obsessively focused on unrealistically positive expectations:
You stand in front of the mirror and repeat affirmations saying that you’re beautiful because you feel as though you’re not beautiful already. You follow dating and relationship advice because you feel that you’re unlovable already.
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.
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.
