"The gap between your ambition and your capabilities isn't a limitation—it's an invitation!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Lots of people don't believe they have what it takes.
They get down about it. They get down on themselves. They go into a funk.
And they're going about it all wrong.
Don't think about it as a failure - think about it as an initiative to grow. Don't view your lack of skills as a barrier - view it as a wall to smash through. Don't think about your lack of knowledge on any one particular topic as a weakness - view it as an opportunity to learn!
If you don't have what it takes, do what it takes to get to what it takes!
Think about the mismatch this way - it's an invitation to do better! To learn more. To work harder. To revisit your efforts. To challenge yourself more!
And that's precisely why I've released Embracing Mediocrity and Escaping Mediocrity. They're designed to be read together as your personal invitation to bridge any gap that might exist in the way of your future.
They will give you a powerful, way to close the gap between your skills and your goals; your ambition and your capabilities; your ideas and initiative.
So, if you feel that gap between what you want to achieve and where you are, consider it an invitation. An invitation to pick up both Embracing Mediocrity and Escaping Mediocrity. Consume their wisdom together, and you might truly find something that will help you to identify what is holding you back – and what you can do to keep moving forward!
