 You can't get to awesome without passing through average is my thought for you today. Average and ordinary and getting by and struggling and even in some people's opinion useless is part of what we have to go through to get to awesome. We want to get to awesome, we want to get to excellent but everybody that's everybody that is in the level called excellent and the level called awesome everybody that is achieving that consistently went through a season of average and ordinary and as I say in some people's opinion failed and useless. So if you're in average today don't despise it, don't dismiss it, don't see it as a throw away. Everybody that's in awesome spent a season in average like you feel you are now and I have been through in my life. We don't go from zero to awesome, we don't go from nothing to excellence, we have to go through a season in between called average. Now I don't like average any more than you do. I believe average is our enemy but it's only our enemy if we stay there and if we try to make other average is awesome it's not but average is a season you'll go through. Average is a gift to us in average learn what average is like. Average has lessons, average has growth for us and so go through average keep moving in your average it's not where you're staying you're not camping there you're not trying to pretend it's awesome but don't feel embarrassed or don't feel you have to explain yourself through average. Everybody that I have worked with everybody I've tried to grow as a team and a staff have all had average days, average performance, average productivity, average mentality, average understanding, average achievement but I knew that awesome was in them but if I'd have dismissed them on average believing that average proves that you'll never be awesome and average proves that you are never going to be excellent out of misunderstood the purpose and the gift of the season called average. If you're in average keep going because awesome is coming and when you get to awesome you will remember average and you will remember what you collected from average and took forward with you into awesome. Awesome's coming you may be in awesome now if you are then remember your average days and don't forget to speak to us that are still in average that was a season you went through too because everybody in average needs to be encouraged it doesn't always turn out brilliant sometimes that's the best thing we can say that was average that was pretty mediocre fine you got to go through that to achieve brilliance and to achieve excellence so you got to go through average to achieve awesome is my thought for you today
