Soul-Destroying Thought

July 12, 2010 | 5 comments

Am I nothing more than mediocre?

Is this thought normal? Or am I thinking it because, in the darkest corners of my mind, I know I am mediocre?

Nikki, I assure you that you can never be mediocre. You are quite a creative force to be reckoned with. Hang in there!

I often have that thought, so I’d like to believe that it’s normal.

read that, you’ll feel better.

summary: feeling mediocre is caused by the awareness there’s always something better out there, an awareness mediocre people lack and causing them to feel superior.
