The mediocrity deconstruction is really important because in the world right now, so many people are really in overwhelm. So many people are absolutely checked out. So many people have so much incoming digital information and such overflowing to-do lists, and there’s still so much traffic on the roads in many cities, and there’s so much media coming at us.
And so it’s so important to learn how to step away from the noise and start to listen to the signal. It’s so important to leave the 95% mediocre producers. I’m not saying they’re mediocre human beings, I’m saying in terms of performance or production, a lot of people are card-carrying members of the cult of mediocrity. I want you to own your primal genius in your natural glory, because I believe all of. us are built for majesty and to do work that astonishes and to live beautiful lives. And so I’m going to
walk you through the deconstruction.
So it’s called the mediocrity deconstruction. And the first element of it is insecurity. So people who are really stuck in mediocrity are suffering from low grade fear known as insecurity. So let’s start with security. That’s the first part of the mediocrity deconstruction. It’s a fear. It’s a fear of loss. It’s a fear of what happens to the world. It’s a fear of death. A lot of people have a fear of death. It’s a fear of missing
out. It’s a fear of all these kinds of things you know. That geniuses are cut from a different cloth and I can’t do it. So we become insecure when we see a great producer or a glorious virtuoso, it brings up our pain of potential unexpressed. And that’s why a lot of insecure people fall into the negative and toxic feeling of jealousy. And that’s why a lot of mediocre people end up as critics. Critics are nothing more than terrified visionaries.
