If you accept average

People moan. They moan a great deal.

Often that is all that they do, online, indoors, at lunch with colleagues.

Yet that moaning rarely turns into action and often in spite of moaning, people go back or repeat.

Average is what many things are, poor value for money, badly made, badly designed, ineffective, poor service, inedible beige food, unsatisfactory, just OK, unfulfilling.

Yet the moaners go back to that job, that life, that product, that service, that restaurant.

If you accept average in what you choose to do, or in what you choose to buy or use, then average is all you can expect from your life and more ineffective moaning won’t alter anything.

We have to choose to improve, lead, feedback and take action. Vote with your feet on poor service, poor products, average anything.

Also, vote with your feet on yourself and average ideas, average performance, on your average life.

Better comes from taking action, belief, commitment and a desire to not accept average or simply good enough in anything.

Those that have chosen to do better haven’t chosen the easy option, but the hard work and challenge that action involves reaps huge rewards.

After all, there is only upside on pushing yourself to achieve better.

When work doesn’t exist, what will you do?

In the not too distant future, work for many will not exist, certainly not as it has existed for 1,000s of years.

AI will replace a great deal of the current low value tasked based and repetitive work. It will even start to replace some semi-skilled work and perhaps one-day some skilled work too.

For many that will leave a great big void and will leave the challenge of what to do.

Those who seek out specialist, very niche work, where their skills, experience, and deep knowledge can not easily be replicated by technology will be highly sought after.

For many millions, if not billions, what will the future be?

The human race is facing one of its greatest challenges, yet most are not even aware that it is or will happen. Most are distracted by killer clowns, terrorism, hate of anything different, that has been engineered by the people who are creating this future where we are replaced.

The real people in control create charades like the US elections where two candidates, who will have no real power, put on a show to entertain or appall us.

What will you do? Wait to be replaced by technology or perhaps it is time to replace the people who are creating that technology and controlling us.

It is in our hands, the 7 billion + of us who live on this planet, we all have our choices for ourselves and future generations.
