When Would a Mediocre Shine?

Randoms :

Recently results are out, 2 units are not satisfactory, the other 3 are alright, not as fantastic as those people who can get straight HDs. Just a thought, how can a mediocre like me since like forever, can breakthrough and be as smart as others?

People might say, you can do better, or, you've done your best, or results is not everything. I do agree to all statements, yes results are just a fraction of your life, but it seems that, I don't have an area, which i am specifically good at, for others, they might be mediocre academically, but they excel in piano/guitar/violin/dance/sing/drawing/sports etc etc. I do not have any of those artsy talents.

I am definitely envious of people with these criteria. Then we often heard, don't need to always compare. Sounds familiar, eh? Yet, I would want to keep up to the standards that the world as a whole set, eg. you have good merits, you'll succeed. I think around 2 years back, I saw a video about a graduate from US giving an inspiring speech, it was about 'average is the new exceptional'.

However, in this society made of all sorts of hierarchies, merit based 'cast system' and so forth, would a mediocre ever be appreciated or feeling good when surrounded by elites?

On a side note, God should be the centre of our lives, not what we do, what we achieve and what we have. It is still a barrier for people like me to let go the earthly measures and just focus on Him.

I still need to learn how to. I am not super disheartened, or grieving over it, it is just that being a mediocre, is not good enough.
