You were not born to exist in mediocrity. You were not created to spend your life stuck in a place that you already know is beneath your skill, your growth, and your potential. And for this conversation, I’m applying this directly to your career, your work, or any ambitious goal you’ve been grinding toward.
When I say “beneath you,” I’m not talking arrogance—I’m talking reality. I’m talking about knowing you’ve outgrown your current level, but you’re still trapped in it. You know in your heart and in your skillset that you are two, three, maybe five levels above where you’re sitting right now. That’s why the frustration hits. That’s why you feel restless.
TODAY, I want you to stop letting frustration eat you up. Instead, let me tell you how to move through it—because elevation doesn’t come instantly, and it doesn’t come from somebody else handing it to you.
Nobody’s Coming to Save You
I’ve lived enough life to know this as a fact: nobody is coming to pull you up. Nobody is going to care about your career, your goals, or your dream more than you do. You might be surrounded by people with influence, and maybe you’re hoping one of them will throw you a lifeline. The reality? That lifeline may never come. At best, maybe one or two people will recognize your worth and open a door—but you cannot build your life strategy on waiting for a handout.
Your progress is your responsibility. Period.
The Patience to Endure
To win in life, you’ve got to develop patience. Not the sit-around-and-wait kind of patience, but the kind that allows you to endure. Because your path is not like everybody else’s. You will be tested in ways others will never be tested. People will cut in line ahead of you. People will make you feel like they’re better just because they got an opportunity you thought you deserved.
Don’t get distracted. Most of those shortcuts don’t last anyway. What looks like a win for them today may not hold tomorrow. Your job is to build your own lane!
Creating Your Next Level
Sometimes when you know you are full of greatness, you have to carry the weight of it. You have to endure the long seasons of being overlooked, undervalued, or stuck in a place you’ve already outgrown. But hear me clearly: your next level won’t come by accident. You create it. You catapult yourself forward by refusing to settle, by sharpening your gifts, by putting yourself in the spaces where your value can’t be ignored.
And that’s why you cannot accept mediocrity. Because deep down, you already know—you were not born for it.
