At one point in time, average paid well. It was the standard.

We used to make a good living on average. Show up, follow the directions, do the right thing.

That was great while it lasted and while it worked. Many found meaning and purpose in it.

Extraordinary, although hard to obtain, paid even better for its effort. Many found meaning and purpose in that as well.

In a world of increasing complexity, of too much toomuchness, it’s never been easier to be extraordinary.

Average now comes at the cost of being irrelevant and guaranteeing the loss of living a life of meaning and purpose.

Extraordinary is the new standard.

Where are you confusing yesterday’s extraordinary with today’s average?
