Excellent- More about Good Enough: The Myth of Success and How to Celebrate the Joy in Average
The article explores the idea that society's obsession with being the best and smashing life is setting us up for failure. It suggests that years of striving and pushing to be better than everyone else are breaking us and that we should instead focus on being average and happy. The author argues that we are all good enough, just as we are, and that it is better to tolerate the lows to reach the fleeting highs and miss out on all the good stuff along the way.

Have you ever felt like you're just average, not special or extraordinary? It's as if society's relentless pursuit of perfection and success is setting us up for failure. We've been conditioned to strive and push ourselves to be better than everyone else, constantly fearing disappointment and seeking validation from others. We work late, hit the gym hard, overcommit, and plaster #selfcare on our social media feeds, all in the name of proving our worth and deserving our place. But are we tolerating the lows to reach the fleeting highs, and are we missing out on all the good stuff along the way?
One thing is certain: it's better to be average and happy than exceptional and miserable. We are all good enough, just as we are.
The pressure to be perfect can be overwhelming, and it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters in life. We're so focused on achieving our goals and reaching the next level that we forget to enjoy the journey. We forget to take care of ourselves, to nurture our relationships, and to find joy in the simple things.
But it's not just society that needs to change. We need to change ourselves. We need to learn to accept ourselves for who we are, flaws and all. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others and focus on our own growth and happiness.
It's time to break free from the expectations and pressures of society and live a life that's authentic to us. We need to prioritize self-care and self-love, and we need to surround ourselves with people who support and encourage us.
So, let's embrace our averageness and be happy. Let's focus on what truly matters in life and let go of the need to be perfect. We are all good enough, just as we are.
