I want to strive to be the best at the things that I am passionate about.  On the other hand the things I am not passionate about I am completely content with being mediocre, as long as I am trying hard enough.  I know the Bible says to do everything as if you are doing it for the Lord, but is it considered good enough for the Lord if you end product is mediocre?  I think it is, as long as you are putting forward enough effort.  This leads me in to thinking about people who are really good at something but do not get the recognition that someone who is the best may get.  For example, I was watching game 4 of the NBA finals and I saw that the Celtics Bench team pretty much won that game for them while a lot of the starters were resting.  Now in order to play in the NBA you need to be a  phenomenal basketball player, I recognize this but you don’t ever really see them spotlighting Nate Robinson (Celtics Bench) over Kevin Garnett (Celtics starter) on ESPN.  These guys are far from mediocre as well, and the games can not all be won without these supporting players.  This leads me into life, some people can not be successful at a lot of things in life unless they have those supporting players to be there for their lives.  So possibly all in all being mediocre may not be what some people are, they may be ridiculously good at what the do, just not the best, I still think they deserve the recognition that the peoplewho are the best get, because sometimes those people who are the best can not be the best without those who may not be the best…bit of a tongue twister I know.  Do you think that people who may be considered mediocre, may not actually be mediocre but extraordinary?
