AVERAGE....





For some average is the state of mind
For some it is the way of life
For me it is a shackle
Shackle hard enough to break-free from

Excellence is a mirage
Is what i've always thought
Success above certain level is unattainable
Is what i’ve always believed
Average is the life I have always lived

Dependency leads to delusion
Comfort makes you indolent
Settling down for good over great
is nowhere close to an achievement
I have knowingly ignored all these facts
Average is the life I have always lived

With an impending New Year
My Resolution is... 
To put an end to my Doubtfulness...
To put an end to an Average Life....
To break the shackles of Mediocrity...


Wishing All my dear Friends A Very Happy and Bright 2013!!!!!

    Nice poem! I don't think average is bad. Like you said, it's a state of mind. The point is just in living the way you're comfortable with, even if that's 'average' for the rest. If you feel like getting to a higher level, then go ahead. Let it just be a personal choice :)

    Wishing you a very Happy and amazing 2013! :)
