Mediocrity is a state of mind. We often feel inferior when comparing ourselves to other, more successful, people. We try to fit in and follow the crowd whilst continuing to dwell on all of the bad things that happen in our lives. We don’t realise that most other people lead equally unfulfilled lives, feel inferior, feel mediocre, and often put on a false front or adopt a pseudo-personality to either boost their own self-esteem, their sense of worth, or make others believe that they’re doing better than they are. Ultimately mediocrity is linked to an overwhelming feeling of a lack of importance.
Feelings of mediocrity typically stem from comparing oneself to those exceedingly more fortunate. Being less than one wishes to be strikes everyone equally, unless one makes peace with their desires for greater station and position. Realizing that the more you have also means you have more to lose is part of this paradigm. The greater your position, the harder you must work to merely maintain it.
