Accepting My own Mediocrity

But Determining to Be More True To my Beliefs..

I used to think that even if ( by definition) on average we all have average abilities- each person has some skill or talent that is above average.
But I can't identify any such skills or talents right now for myself. I can't even think of anything I can do with even average skill levels. When I go through the list of my abilities it seems that they are mostly below average.

Actually I did think of something I am exceptionally good at:  taking an exceptionally long time to do even the simplest of tasks. No-one can go slow like me. I would have to exclude walking though. Even when I try to go slow, I walk faster than most people do when at leisure. But They could probably all outrun me. I am just not very good at relaxing.

So maybe somewhere in the last paragraph there is a glimmer of hope. I don't know.
Maybe I just have to make the most of what I can do, accept my limitations and stop acting as if I am going to magically change..

And yet I want to be better, to do better, to concentrate more steadfastly, to think more clearly, wisely, intelligently..
That's why I called this blog the quest to be better. I am just finding it hard to believe I can be anything more than mediocre..
When looking for pictures to illustrate this post I came across this lovely image on pinterest:

But what does "being real"mean??

According to the urban dictionary this colloquialism refers to "the action of being true to the code of ethics of one's self, culture, and environment"

At least that is an idea I might be able to work with. But damn it is hard because I want to change so much in the world around me and it is quite difficult to avoid supporting work practices and businesses I don't agree with ethically and morally.

But still it's probably easier to go back to using only recycled paper than to try to speed up and be more efficient and effective at my various roles in life...!

Comments and suggestions most welcome.
