“I do not believe that God put us here to be ordinary.”
Lou Holtz
Ordinary. Such an ordinary word. If you add extra to it, does it make
it that much better? Extraordinary. What exactly does it mean to be
extraordinary or ordinary? We do not always have to be “extraordinary.”
Sometimes ordinary is simply fine if it means doing the right thing,
or avoiding doing negative, counter-productive things. Comparisons
again are not always on a meaningful scale. Ordinary according to
whom? Do your best. Do what is right. Look at yourself in the mirror
and know you can be proud. It may be quite middle of the pack, but
did you help someone else? Did you contribute in any way to making
our world a better place? What may be an ordinary act of kindness
to you may make an enormous difference in somebody else’s life.
What may be an ordinary piece of work for you may be instrumental
or monumental in somebody else’s life. It is ok to just be ordinary. Just
do our best. Be the best version of ourselves in the moment. Ordinary
by whose standards? We are quite good enough. Be who we are and
there is no need to judge ourselves. There is no need to compare
ourselves to others. (They are probably fake anyway) Comparison
is the thief of joy. Never compare yourself to anyone on Instagram!
