Mediocre daily existence

Our lives are geared for mediocrity and routine.

Nobody, at any time in human history, for every waking moment of their productive and creative life was a certifiable genius, a veritable virtuoso of a creative art, a maestro of productivity of whatever it was they were doing or engaging in, at that moment, all day, every day.

Every career, every life has the briefest flashes of brilliance and genius, punctuated by long, sullen periods of mediocrity, of experimenting and failing.

The point is, to be perform like a rock star we don’t need to shoot for a continuous and unabated stream of brilliant moments.

We just need five minutes.

Five minutes, once a day.

Five minutes to make a change.

Five minutes to make a difference.

Five minutes of genius.

Five minutes of giving it everything we’ve got.

Five minutes is more than most can achieve in a year.

Imagine how your life and the lives of those around you, if you spent just five minutes each day being dazzling.
