anything but average

posted February 4th, 2016 at 8:17 AM

I want to be so wealthy and successful that I can barely handle it. Mediocrity is fatal. I want to be known and change the world. I am not talking known like Kim K, but rather Oprah, Mandela or Ghandi. I want to make the world a better place, but also experience a different life than what I have now. I have been given so much, my life can not be average. There must be a higher purpose for me. Does anyone out there feel the same?

If you think someone can sway even a few million people out of seven billion you are delusional.

Being wealthy doesn't mean you're successful. There's lots who have cheated the system to get wealthy. So no, change the world being the person you are, not being someone you "aren't"

I don't think Ghandi or Mandela were wealthy. Do you want to be wealthy and influential, or a martyr for your cause? If you don't have a cause i'd choose the former.

Is a serious redirection in your thinking. Your goals are admirable, but they're being fed by arrogance and self-aggrandisement. Your value system is all askew!

I am a special and unique snowflake.

Lots of people feel like that when they're young. But most of us grow up and realize everyone is special but most of us will only be special to a few people in our lives. Stop thinking about making it big and just start making things better that you can control now.
