What do you think about yourself?
Are you an average person with average education, average
skills, average job, average income, average dreams, average
goals, average outlook of life, average thinking, average living
standard, average …..?
Being an average person is no sin but it’s a tragedy that most
average persons remain average throughout their lives. Why?
Because they think, feel and act as an average person. They have
no big dreams, no extraordinary effort to excel in life and no
high goals to reach.
Why are you an average person? Why not an above average person?
Think, think, think!
Did anybody stop you from going up? Kick that person out! Is
there any hurdle in your way? Climb that hurdle! Don’t stay
behind the wall. Break the wall and make your way. The world is
very beautiful on the other side of the wall. Yes, it is!
Scratch your head and think what qualities should you possess to
become an above average person. Ask yourself how you should
look, act and behave. Be honest with yourself and decide whether
you look like an above average person. If not then think what
steps you need to take.
Improve your education and professional skills, improve your
health and physical structure, improve your communication
skills, improve your relations with colleagues and friends,
improve your job environment, improve your domestic life,
improve your social circle, improve your habits and life style,
improve whatever needs to be improved.
Change yourself completely from inside and outside to fit into
the posture of an above average person. Change your thinking,
change your belief, change your life style, change everything
that needs to be changed.
Remember, you cannot become an above average person by
associating yourself with negative people. Give a copy of this
article to your friends and ask their opinion. If they want to
join you in the process of self-improvement then it’s well and
good, otherwise leave their company because sooner or later you
will be infected by their germs of negativity.
In order to fight the negativity (within and around you), you
need to arm yourself with the powerful weapons of positive
thinking. God given power and energy is already within you. All
that you have to do is to use that energy in transforming
yourself into an above average person.
Why do I always want to be an “above average” person?
I don't know why I feel this way but I just know I feel a lot better than just being an average person, someone who just has a job that just pays enough money. I don't want to be that kind of person. I want to be the type of person who requires so much approval from other people, the person who does great things and want to make it better than just great things like an entertainer or something high-profile. I'm always like that and I can't settle for being just an average person and I don't know why.
You sound like a real go-getter. A good strategy for you would be to mirror the personality of whoever can get you further ahead, and also never be the one to release a handshake.

That alone makes you exceptional
Good job!

I don't know. I'm the same way, and always have been. I think we all have that in us to some degree, though obviously some of us have it worse than others.. you and I, for example. For me, I expect it in basically every category, and feel bad/inferior when I'm not the best/near the best at something.
It can be a problem.

I feel the same way. Maybe it's because you were raised that way. I don't think it's not a bad thing. It makes you work harder and aim higher.

I know this sounds weird but I want you to add up the numbers in your birth date like this:
??/??/19?? ?+?+?+?+1+9+?+?= ?? , than add those up: ?+? now keep doing this until you get a one digit number. I'll bet the answer is "1".

Because you're normal. Average people want the same

First of all, there's nothing wrong w/wanting to be "above average" in fact it's a good thing. It means you want to be the best you can be, but you should want it for yourself & not society's or someone else's approval! You don't need to validate your existence by being the best everything though. Do things to make yourself happy not for status reasons.

You live by your ego. Until you learn to let go of this you will never have enough.

As long as you are doing it for the rights reasons an not just prestige…you set high goals for yourself because you believe in yourself and your talents…NOT a thing wrong with that! Helping others is the most rewarding job there is

Why is this so wrong for you?
The reason you feel like this is because you see things
as they are and you know you can make them better.
Your goals and expectations are higher than the "average"
person. This is what drives you.
Nothing wrong with that. I congratulate you!
However, there is something you could take a good look
at.
Your need for constant approval is cause for concern.
It's a sign of self doubt and insecurity. It's a sign that
tells me you are starved for attention.
Alot of famous actors, stand-up comics and clowns felt
like you do. They could'nt over come their sense of
insecurity or were not able to resolve their childhood
truamas; real or imagined. They took the stage and
the spotlight to act out their frustrations. They knew
they could be any character they wanted to be, other
than themselfs, and they were safe to express them-
selves to the whole world without consequence.
Sadly, alot of them passed away and no one knew
who they were. We all knew them as the characters they
played but we didn't know them as the persons they were.
Don't let this happen to you!
I urge you to examine your past. Take a good look at it,
and resolve to make amends. Humility is key.
You need to find closure to the issues that haunt you.
If you can't, then find a way to forgive everything that
torments you. You must do this in order for you to have
a new and fresh start.
Once you do this, I assure you that your desperate desire
for approbation will subside.
You will then realize what the true meaning of integrity is.
It's not for instant gratification, medals or rewards.
It's doing the right thing, knowing full well, that no one is
going to know whether you did it or not.
Do what you want or need to do for yourself and others
without expecting anything in return,that includes recog-
nition. If it comes, it comes!
By doing this, you will have conquored your insecurity
and self doubt. You will be more forgiving and kind to
yourself. You will find faith come to you and you will be
a much stronger person.
May you fare well, my friend.
