 the road to awesome goes through a place called average. I know we all want to get to awesome and bypass average, but we can't. It is part of our human condition and part of our human journey to go through average versions of ourselves to have average performance, average outcomes, average behavior, build average businesses, organizations, churches. Average is a place you have to travel through and because you have to travel through it, it makes awesome all the more awesome when you get there. And it's good for us all to learn from average and hand something back to people that are coming up behind us who are in average and believe they'll stay there all their life and feel stuck there and think, what's the point? I can't go on. I want to tell you that's okay. We all go through average on the way to doing better.
