Our Greatest Challenge With Others' Success
The Superhuman Dilemma
We are Obsessed with the Idea of Success in Today's World.
We Crave Success in Our Lives.
We Admire and Glorify the Success of Others.
We Attempt to Systemize and Master and Package Success in So Many Different Ways.
I See It...
All the Time.
We are Obsessed.
However...
I have a Problem with How We Look at Success in Today's World.
Let me give you an Example...
Yesterday, I mentioned briefly how I Run Barefoot Most Days as a Semi-Professional Athlete...
At Least One Mile Every Day for Over 450 Days in a Row Now...
And I've had a Number of Other Successes in Life within My Career...
Hall of Fame Leadership Coach...
I have Written Nearly 1,000 Articles on Sageship, Leadership, and other Topics around Psychophysiology as a Digital Writer...
And More.
I'm Very Proud of the Work that I've Accomplished...
I Do Not Think Little of How Far I've Come...
And I'm Honored by the Recognition I've Received.
Truly Blessed.
But...
I had a Wonderfully Good Friend of Mine Call Me "Super Human".
Again, this is an Amazing Honor to be Called...
However...
It Creates a Problem that I Regularly See when it Comes to the "Idea" of Success.
What Does "Super Human" Mean?
It Implies "Above" Human or "Beyond" Human...
Unnatural...
But Most Importantly...
Unachievable to Anyone who "Is" Human.
Indeed, this is How "Most" People Look at the Success of Others.
That is "Their" Success...
But Could Never Be "My" Success.
"They" are "Super Human"...
While "I" am "Just Human".
Often, this Plays Out Subconsciously in Our Minds...
But the Damage becomes Very Real.
We Begin to "See" Others' Success as "Beyond" Our Capabilities.
And Worse...
We Begin to "Believe" That "They" are "Beyond" Human as Well.
It Creates a Dual Problem.
We Do Not Believe We "Can" Attain that Success...
Frequently Sabotaging Ourselves...
And We Begin to "See" The Other Individuals as Beyond Human...
Even "deific".
We then Put Those Types of Expectations "On" Those Individuals.
We Believe that "deities" have Everything Together.
We Believe that "deities" are Always Right.
We Believe that "deities" are Always Good and Benevolent...
That their Morals Must "Exceed" Others...
And They are Worthy to Follow.
But...
Most of These are Untrue.
Especially in Today's World.
There are So Many People Who have Some Level of Success...
Whose Lives are Falling Apart...
Who are Frequently Wrong...
Who Do Terrible and Hateful Things...
With Morals that are Vile...
And that have Lives that if You Choose to Follow...
Will Be Your Undoing.
In Fact...
Many People "Do" Fall While Pursuing the Path of Someone who has Laid Out "A" Way to "Success"...
That Proves to Be Ruinous in the Long Term.
Within All of This...
We Also Fail to Understand...
That We...
As Humans...
Are Capable of So Much More than We Realize.
Every Single Thing that I Do...
Every Single Goal I Achieve...
Every Single Part of My Life that has Been Recognized...
Is Attainable By Anyone.
In Fact...
More than What I have Attained is Possible.
This is the Reality that I have Come to Understand...
We, as a Society, Think So Small of Ourselves.
So Tiny of Our Capabilities.
Why?
Largely Because We are So Incredibly Sick as a Society.
Physically.
Mentally.
Emotionally.
Spiritually.
In All of these Ways, We have been Horribly Sick...
Many of Us for Our Entire Lives.
As a Society, We are Not even "Remotely" Close to what "Should" be Average for Human Beings.
I Believe This Truly...
Even in My Own Life, I Do Not Believe "I" have Reached What "Should" be Average as a Human.
I, Too, Have Grown Up in this World...
Have Been Damaged By It...
Have Been Fed Misinformation...
Have Been Misled into Beliefs that are Wrong.
I have Worked Hard to Heal So Many Parts of My Life to Reach what I Believe Should be "Average" for People...
And...
I Do Not Believe I have Reached that Point Yet.
So, though the Intent of being Called "Super Human" is Incredibly Flattering...
It is Not True.
I am Yet to Reach Average...
Let Alone Anywhere Near the Extents of What is Possible.
The Further and Further that I Dig into Understanding Psychophysiology...
The More and More I Believe this to Be True.
The "Only" Reason that Someone May See What has Been Accomplished in Today's World and See it as "Super Human"...
Is Because We have Become So Far Away from "Average" that it Looks Incredible.
It is Only "Perceived" as "Super Human" because We are Blind to How Incredible We Are as Humans.
But In Truth...
It is Absolutely Attainable By You.
In Fact...
You "Should" Be Able to Attain It Simply By Living Fully as a Human...
There is Nothing "Super" or "Beyond" About It...
These Should Be "Natural" Human Abilities.
But We have Not Seen It as Common in the World because We are So Far Removed from It...
Born and Raised in a World that has Forgotten Our Abilties...
Chasing Success as if it were a Secretive, Mystic Puzzle of Unfathomable Value...
Chasing Around Other Humans as if They Were deities that Held the Keys to What We Can or Cannot Attain...
Falling into the Same Traps and Holes as They Have Been Falling Into...
When Truly Everything Has Been, and Always Will Be, Easily Within Our Capabilities...
Simply By Being Human.
So This is What is Important to Take Away...
If You Ever Begin to See the Accomplishments of Anyone Who has Had Success...
Including Me...
Understand that They are Human...
That Everything They Have Attained...
Is Within Your Reach as Well...
Because You are Human.
There is Nothing Super Human About Them...
They are Only Natural Humans...
Likely So Far Away from Their Potential as Well, without Realizing It.
I Know it is True of Myself...
And I Hope that We All Find a Day Where We Can Live Beyond Our "True" Average as Humans.
