Why do most people not excel? I was reflecting about that last night. It is not that any of each and every person lacks the talent and ability to be exceptional, regardless of intelligence, gender, creed, ethnic origin or gender orientation.
They do not excel because they are lazy. Taking the easy way out and doing the minimum in life is just more fun and easier. It is its own immediate reward to play now and often, and work only enough to barely get by. Being basically depraved, this is the natural human proclivity. Hyper-clean and super-industrious Nazi types to the contrary, cleanliness, orderliness and industriousness are next to godliness. Satan is slovenly, dirty, indolent, disorganized and chaotic. Chaos and destruction are Sa's contribution to the world.
They do not excel because naturally they are fatalistic. They make up makes them naturally lethargic, sleepy and lackadaisical. They must be brought up right (a training in maverization would provide them with what they need) to have ambition, desire, energy, focus, a plan, work ethic and discipline, the characteristics that would lead them to excel. They must serve God who instructs all His children to work and angelize themselves, excelling in other words.
They do not excel because they are afraid to stand out and be that high profile, exceptional, wonderful person that is not conforming to social expectations from family, friends, neighbors and coworkers left behind. Nonconformity against these lower standards of minimum personal performance keeps everyone performing at 15% of their capacity, a guarantee of general mediocrity as the community standard. This expectation of social sameness and non-performance is firmly, constantly and immediately enforced against any and all straying from the pack expectation to do little or nothing with one's natural ability. There is an lingering, sinister conspiracy of silence hovering over the heads of all where all have done little, all have agreed that everything is acceptable as it is, and that all get off the hook without any reminder as to their wrongdoing, not obeying and pleasing God.
They do not excel because they suffer from low self-esteem. They do not like themselves. They are not good to themselves as they have from birth or have come to believe, as adults, that excelling is a state of being that they do not deserve. They are not entitled to be special. They are not special. They would be guilty of hubris--and divinely punished for their arrogant rebellion against God and their humble status if they pull a Prometheus. To be arrogant and seek to stand out as an accomplished individual is an offense to God, a rebellious sin that will force Him to humble them on earth, and if they continue on this wrong path, they will be hurled into hell for all eternity. This is all bunk. They are special. They are worthy of excelling--indeed it is their duty to so perform.
They do not excel because the idea never occurred to them, and the home environment from which they sprung did not fire their imagination with such idealistic longings.
They do not excel because they were not reared in the social science of wise living also know as maverization.
