			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A rich, fulfilling life cannot be attained by those who are willing to accept the Mediocre.</h2>
<p><strong>&#8216;True  Success&#8217; belongs to</strong> those who are <strong>willing to do what others can not do, or will not do.</strong> Take note; there will always be those who will tell you to <strong>take the path of least resistance. </strong></p>
<p>What they don&#8217;t tell you is&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<h1><span style="color: #0000ff">The path of least resistance is filled with the corpses of the mediocre.</span></h1>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><br />
</span></p>
<p>To become free we must overcome the obstacles that are set before us.</p>
<p>Telling yourself and anyone else who will listen how tough it is, does nothing but validate that it&#8217;s okay to quit on yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Those who do not have</strong> <strong>the courage to stand up</strong> for who they really are and what they really want die having lived lives that are, at best, half lived and all too often sadly forgotten.  These are <strong>the forgotten lives of the mediocre</strong>, whose fear of offending others <strong>has ruled them like a fierce dictator that banishes freedom as if it was a plague</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>All courage is subjective</strong>; remember, what&#8217;s easy for one person is not necessarily easy for another. So give <strong>yourself the recognition</strong> for what you have already done while at the same time <strong>turn your back on complacency</strong>.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Celebrating your success is an excellent thing to do</strong>; however, staying at the celebration is like still <strong>wearing your Christmas hat in February; it gets a little stale. </strong></p>
<p>So, stop looking for people to complain to; yes it’s hard sometimes… So what!</p>
<p>Do what you need to do, do what&#8217;s in front of you, and stop waiting for it to get better, change or anything other than what it is!</p>
<p>I look forward to hearing your feedback.</p>
<p>Until next time live with courage, Dov&#8230;</p>
