Say No to Being Average

This caught my eye the other day from Seth Godin’s blog:

It’s really scary to turn down most (the average) of what comes your way and hold out for the remarkable opportunities. Scary to quit your job at an average company doing average work just because you know that if you stay, you’ll end up just like them. Scary to go way out on an edge and intentionally make what you do unattractive to some.

Which is why it’s such a great opportunity.

I don’t like being average. I want to do a better than average job and to get noticed for it. It sounds kind of conceited when I put it out there like that, but that is what makes me tick. Anybody can be average. I want to be a somebody.
