When I speak of mediocrity, I am referring to the attitude of half-hearted effort. It might not be outright laziness, but it is a mentality that feels comfortable in giving forth something less than our very best. It’s the “do what it takes to get by” or “that’s good enough” or “whatever” way of thinking. It’s a state of living that actually becomes content with a mindset of failure. I believe as a culture, the “commitment to excellence” in our personal lives is rapidly decreasing.
