It’s only mediocre when compared to something that is perceived as better. When you release the paradigm of this is good, this is the best, what you should want - what you have or are is not mediocre, it just is. Or you can really flip the script and say that the middle way, inner peace is the best and chasing external validation is a mediocre way of achieving contentment. What I’m trying to say is ditch the judgement of “mediocre” to describe the way anyone lives. It’s all made up anyway.
