Why Should You Worry if You Have a Good Life?

Good is the enemy of great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great…Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life. - Good to Great by Jim Collins.

Another word for good life is mediocrity, and that can never fulfil. Look in the mirror and ask yourself, "Which game am I playing - the Game of Mediocrity or the Game of Mastery?" If you can stand tall, look straight in your eyes and tell yourself with conviction in your mind, lightness in your body and joyful ease in your heart that it is the Game of Mastery you are invested in; my friend, keep playing the game to realize your greatest dreams in deepest communion with your highest self and have it all - deeply fulfilling successful career, joyful relationships, happy responsible kids and lots of nourishing me-time. Remember the Game of Mastery is a journey and the day you think you have arrived is the day you know you have to start all over again right from ground zero.

If you stand in authenticity and vulnerability to acknowledge that you are playing the Game of Mediocrity, congratulations for your courage because now you have the power to choose differently. The Game of Mastery can only begin with deep self-awareness of where you are. All you have to do is make the choice to shift your game and with that, your life will shift. You are destined for greatness. Don't let the world sell you lies and have you believe in the virtues of mediocrity, as it slowly and ever so surely is killing your spirit moment by moment. Rise, awake, let go of your cynicism & resignation; and follow your heart because you are meant to shine brightly with the light of your greatness.

Love,
