No one likes to be average.
I guess its better then being below average but the truth is you want to be great.
You may not want to be great at everything but I'm sure there is at least one thing that you really want to be great at.
It you know what that is, here are a few keys to help you go from average to great.
1.
Surround yourself with people that are greater than you.
When I played basketball in high school, my coach use to always tell me that if I played any basketball outside of practice, I had to play with people that were better than me.
He said the only way I can get better is to play with people that could play better then me.
Likewise, if you want to be great don't always hang around people that are the same as you.
2.
Be coached or mentored.
I don't know of any great athlete that doesn't have a coach or a mentor.
Becoming great is not a road that you can go down alone.
You need someone there that can help you, give you insight, and tell you what things you need to change.
Life is the most important game of all, so get a coach.
3.
Don't give up.
Average people give up when the road gets to hard for them.
Average people settle for good instead of pressing for great.
For you to have great success in life you can't give up on your dreams and goals.
It doesn't matter how tough it may get.
Whatever you do, don't give up.
