Be functionally unbalanced!

If you want to be anything other than average, you need to remove the term balance from your vocabulary.

If you want to be successful in your goals, you need to be functionally unbalanced. Yes, that means you might push some people away. That means you will be misunderstood. But if you're trying to be above average, you don't need average people to understand your choices.

Those same people won't be able to deny your progress if you do this. They will absolutely see the gains. They will see the change. They will see the growth. Then they will try and talk you out of continuing because they can't. Keep going anyway!

No excuses!
