Day 31: On Being “Normal ”

To be “normal” is the ideal aim for the unsuccessful, for all those who

are still below the general level of adaptation. But for people of more than

average ability, people who never found it difficult to gain successes and to

accomplish  their  share  of  the  world’s  work  —  for  them  the  moral

compulsion  to  be  nothing  but  normal  signifies  the  bed  of  Procrustes  —

deadly and insupportable boredom, a hell of sterility and hopelessness.

—Carl Jung

There’s  nothing  “normal”  in  building  self-discipline.  Most  people

avoid  all  kinds  of  discomfort  and  effort.  They  don’t  want  to  experience

personal  growth  because  it  interferes  with  them  stuffing  themselves  with

French fries, wasting countless hours in front of TV, spending money they

don’t  have  on  things  they  don’t  need,  lollygagging  at  work,  and  cutting

corners whenever they can.

If you want to join the minority of people who do possess self-control

and  strive  to  strengthen  it  even  further,  you’ll  be  considered  weird.  This

means  that  you  need  to  prepare  yourself  for  potential  ridicule,  being

frowned upon, and not being understood.

It might be hard at first to face so much adversity when all you want to

do is to improve yourself. To overcome this situation, get the following fact

at  the  forefront  of  your  mind:  “normal”  is  the  ideal  for  the  mediocre,

“exceptional” (or, in the words of the unsuccessful, “weird”) is the ideal for

the high-achievers and trailblazers.

Every time you feel out of sync with the rest of the world, remember

that there are other people like you. During the challenging times, when’re

you’re  stumbling,  remind  yourself  that  even  when  you’re  failing,  you’re

still forging your own path, something that the vast majority of people will

never do. You can enjoy the fruits of your success in a way that they will

never  experience,  and  that’s  why  it’s  worth  it  to  be  exceptional.  Be

exceptional.
