Currently reading this book where in one chapter, the author mentioned that being average has become the standard of failure. This is because the culture’s standard of success is to be extraordinary as everyone is special and deserves attention. He said that in reality, the vast majority of life will be boring and not noteworthy, and that is okay. One will be much happier if one has a growing appreciation for life’s basic experiences.
I used to think that I will only share experiences, or feelings on social media or blog posts when they are extraordinary and noteworthy. Perhaps it is time to note down the ordinary stuff now, to appreciate there is nothing wrong with living a largely mundane life.
Perhaps things are ordinary for a reason; because they are what truly matters.
