Mindset and practices to be an outstanding individu

               Relationships are so perfect when they begin.  That’s life.  When you are a kid, everything seems possible.  As an adult, you realize that the sky isn’t the limit, it’s the amount of work put in, or the lack there of, that limits us.

            Most times, the notion of following our dreams sounds fantastic.  To get started, it takes guts with lots of faith and passion thrown in.  It takes plain hard work to make a dream successful.  The time taken to master a skill is the longest part of any task, and usually, the least exciting.

                Following dream is every different from following through with it.  How we perceive work and our attitude towards it, is often the deciding factor between being a mediocre and an outstanding individual.

To be an outstanding individual, we need to have the following mindset and practice:
1.        Always be in a competition
                        -           With yourself
                        -           having initiative
                        -           doing more than required
                        -           always trying to top our own game
                        -           competing against old ideas to give it a fresh take
                        -           be more efficient
2.        Keep doing the ordinary
                        -           noting is mundane if we don’t see it that way
3.        Be going – ho
                        -           in life, there is always going to be an unknown factor
-           one of the biggest signs of mediocrity is saying ‘’cannot’’ before we ever try
