Mediocrity is one of the biggest threats to your success in this life, both as a profitable investor and as a thoroughly satisfied human being.
Mediocrity is also one of the stealthiest adversaries you face on a daily basis, because it surrounds you almost everywhere you go, implicitly tempting you to surrender your long-term ideals in favor of near-term comfort.
Almost everyone you know is doing this all the time – replacing their pursuits of stunningly beautiful dreams (both financial and otherwise) with more commonplace aspirations.
They trade their ideals for that which is merely “attainable”.
They trade possible greatness for guaranteed “goodness”.
In other words, they capitulate (ie. “settle”).
And, like the insecure sellouts that they are, they want you to join their capitulation.
But this world already has enough sellouts. And there is likewise no shortage of weak-kneed cowards.
So fight the urge to settle…
