THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE AWESOME OR AVERAGE We have just hit the half way point of 2014! And this is my rant! I am sorry if it doesn’t sound pretty or if I am not being politically correct, but you decide if you make this year average or awesome. – YOUR CHOICE! I hate it when people say, “You’re Doing Amazing things”, “You Have an Awesome Life”, “You get all your dreams”, “You’re so lucky”! I am not lucky! ü  I give myself permission to dream big, make goals + crush them. ü  I give myself permission to be Awesome! ü  I give myself permission to be me. Quirks and all. ü  I give myself permission to fail. Who Are You?! I don’t think you are average. Average is boring, Average people complain about everything and do nothing. If you’re average in your career, you won’t get bosses promoting you. If you’re average in your business, you wont get the floodgates of referrals. 90% of people fail in business, career and life because they are settling for average. Being average will kill you slowly. life design I have worked all over the world in Asia, Europe and Middle East. There are some acquaintances and colleagues, which I can barely remember. I have traveled to over 45 countries and there some places that I can’t really remember. Average = Forgettable Don’t be Average Average means you go with the flow. Average means you don’t take bold chances. Average means you talk to everyone and no-one. Average means you spent hours working but you create no impact. No one wants to support average people! No one refers average people! They don’t Facebook, tweet or write about them! They don’t invite average people to speak at their events. Average people lose career and business opportunities because they live in averageville. This year has been unforgettable! I have already traveled to 10 countries on 4 continents. Unforgettable! I have been awarded the World of Difference Award. Unbelievable! I have reached the top of Kilimanjaro, swam in untouched beaches in Zanzibar. Unforgettable! I have seen my friend Allison making her theatrical debut in New York. Unforgettable! I have been part of my first AIESEC Alumni A group. Unforgettable! If you want to go from average to awesome. Likelihood you are average. You don’t dare to dream bigger, you don’t dare to think bigger, you don’t dare to do bigger. You’re okay just being like everyone in the office. You’re okay being like all the other businesses. Nothing is really different about you. Meet Arianna Huffington, tripled my monthly income and working on my new book. Unforgettable! You’re struggling, you hate your job, and you complain all the time. So how has this half of the year been unforgettable for you? You’re borderline failing at life. 18 | Dey Dos Magazine
