“Why Being Average Is the Most Underrated Superpower”

Comments · 15 Views

We live in a world that screams:

“Be the best!”

“Stand out!”

“Break the mold!”

And if you're not the smartest, fastest, richest, or most something, you start to feel like you’re… nothing.

But what if that’s not true?

? Redefining "Average"

“Average” doesn’t mean boring.
It doesn’t mean lazy or talentless.
It simply means you don’t live your life like a performance — and there’s so much power in that.

You:

  • Live simply

  • Work honestly

  • Feel deeply

  • Try your best

  • Fail sometimes

  • Keep going

That’s not mediocrity.
That’s humanity.


? Why Being Average Is Powerful

1. You're Free from the Toxic Race

The pressure to be “exceptional” is often a trap.
It leads to:

  • Burnout

  • Imposter syndrome

  • Constant dissatisfaction

Being average lets you breathe.
You're not stuck comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s highlight reel.


2. You Have More Room for Joy

When you stop chasing applause, you start noticing small wins:

  • A quiet morning

  • A good cup of coffee

  • A job done well, even if no one claps

Being average means you’re present, not just productive.


3. You Build Real Relationships

People who aren’t trying to impress everyone tend to connect deeper.
They listen.
They relate.
They show up.

You don’t need a massive following — you just need a few people who genuinely care.


4. You Can Grow Without Pressure

Extraordinary people often feel stuck by their own image.
Average people? They have the freedom to evolve without fear of “falling from grace.”

You can fail, learn, shift paths — and no one’s watching to judge you.


5. You're Not Wasting Energy on Perfection

The pursuit of perfection is exhausting.
But being average allows room for:

  • Rest

  • Balance

  • Wholeness

And from there, true creativity and peace can emerge.


? But Isn’t It Wrong to Settle?

Here’s the twist: Being average doesn’t mean you don’t aim for growth.
It just means your self-worth isn’t tied to being “better than others.”

You can want more for yourself — without needing to prove your value to the world.
That’s strength.
That’s freedom.


? Final Thought:

Maybe you’ll never go viral.
Maybe you won’t be a billionaire or the next big thing.

But you will be someone who lives fully, loves deeply, and matters immensely to the people around you.

That’s not average. That’s enough.

And in a world obsessed with extra, maybe enough is the new extraordinary.
