Me, who?
I’ve realized recently that I need to make changes to my own life. Often, people compliment me on the things that I have achieved (which, really, aren’t even that great — yet). I take these things and I grow on it and it feeds my ego. I feel good about myself. I’ll feel like I have been climbing to the top of the world and I have even gotten there. I’ve realized that I will never get there…at least maybe not until I die. I need to battle with myself and my inner ego and tell myself — I am not the greatest person in the world. People do not respect me much as I think they do. If anything, there will always be critics. There is always room for self-improvement. Great minds do not think they are great minds. Great minds know that they can always improve. Great minds constantly see the flaws in themselves. They are their own biggest critic. I need to show myself that I can be better than I already am. I will constantly tell myself there is room for improvement. I will never be satisfied with myself.
I will not settle for mediocrity.

don’t worry. aside from you being your own biggest critic, i will be in line to tell you what you’ve done is nothing more than ordinary. ultimately, i hope that helps you strive for better in whatever endeavor i am criticizing you in.
