If you don’t do anything to change your life, you will simply stay where you currently are.

For progress to be made, you must first change your mindset.
In this article, I will show you how.

Reasons for a Mediocre Life

There are seven common reasons for a mediocre life:

Rearview mirror syndrome — when you look at your past and believe that the future will not be any different.

2. Lack of purpose — you would be surprised at how many people don’t have a purpose in life!
3. Isolating incidents — It’s a common belief that our small actions throughout the day have no effect on the rest of our life. We give ourselves permission to skip the gym, eat unhealthily, and so on.
4. Lack of accountability — We, as humans, need an accountability partner to help us do the things that we planned, even when we don’t feel like it. Without any accountability, it’s easy to lose focus on what’s really important to us.
5. Mediocre circle of influence — You are the average of the five people you spend most of your time with. In other words, if you hang out with mediocre people, you will stay mediocre.
6. Lack of personal development — Success is something that we attract by who we are. And only personal development will change who you are.
7. Lack of urgency — People’s nature is to live with a “someday” mindset. The time will come to change this and that, but it doesn’t have to happen yet.

If you want to break free from mediocrity and be in the top 5% of people, you must do what they do.

Actions to take

First, identify what you need to do in each of the following areas in order to be among the top 5%:

Physical — maintain a healthy lifestyle
Mental and emotional
Relational
Financial — there are more people than ever with large amounts of debt
Secondly, identify the causes of mediocrity in your life. By understanding what causes people to live a mediocre life, you will be able to avoid the traps.

Thirdly, draw your line in the sand.

Make the decision to change who you are and what you do now. Not tomorrow. Now.
