Everything is difficult before it's easy. Everything is uncomfortable before it's comfortable. - Hal Elrod

In other words how we feel when we wake up in the morning and this is a very important distinction is not solely based on how many hours of sleep you got that significantly impacted by how we told ourselves we are going to feel when we woke up.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Being average means to settle for less than you truly want and are capable of, and to struggle for your entire life.
