Crappy Reflections on Greatness on a Monday Morning
There are days that it just hits you in big bold letters... YOU ARE NOTHING BUT ORDINARY!
It's what most of us fear... THE thing that most of us don't want to be. So we wear outrageous clothes... and come up with concepts like INDIVIDUALITY... and try to reach and achieve more than we can... and maybe even the reason why we look for God in our lives.
It's all because of that struggle, that scampering to be different, to be unique... to be great even.
But maybe there are just some people who are meant to be great... who are given the opportunity to make a difference. Or maybe it's those people who believe they are meant for great things that do make it out of the shadows of anonymity.
Why am I thinking about this? I don't know. Maybe it's the going to the office everyday, doing the same mundane tasks, going home to the same nights of television and books, sleeping with the same expectations of tomorrow as you had today... It makes you think... Is this all there is to it?
No, I have no ambitions of being great (though I don't think it would be such a bad experience ^_^). I've stopped any predilections for world domination some time in high school... and all my ambitions have gone downhill to mediocrity since then. I'm someone who knows full well how ordinary I am. And I don't feel that destiny, the world, God or whoever is in charge of such things, would be slapping me into situations of potential greatness any time soon. Somewhat disappointing... but I don't really mind, I guess.
Like I said, sometimes it just hits you in big bold letters... and then you just have to wonder... is this all there is to it? Maybe yes, maybe not... but if there's one thing I've learned and am continuing to learn... you've got to learn to be happy with what you have and what you are now. You'll only be hurting yourself otherwise.

@yuki: Thanks for the sentiments... It really makes a person's day knowing one has made even a small amount of difference in other people's lives.
(Ack! I'm so dramatic so early in the morning! heheheh)
