We are not built for mediocrity, but we build it into our lives nonetheless.

Mediocrity is a path cleared by fear, leveled by apathy and paved by comfort.

I might define a ‘journey’ as something that life itself calls me to. And I might then define a ‘trip’ as something I create to avoid a journey by mimicking a journey. And while fear is most certainly part and parcel of both, the latter is emboldened by fear while the former surrenders to it.

When my vision is numbed by apathy and narrowed by mediocrity, I can stand in the presence of great things and fail to see even the smallest of things.

If we’re honest, what makes something impossible is not our fear. Rather, it is our indifference.

It might not be about perfection. Rather, it may be that that which is imperfect is that which has the most character.
