Why Most People Remain in Mediocrity

Start your week with a reminder that most people are fighting for 2nd place and if you don't fear failure you have a better shot at the big prizes.

We don't believe that watching a motivational video will suddenly make you a great poker player, consistent good habits and a commitment to learning will. However, it is undeniable that a short term boost of inspiration can start a positive snowball effect. 

Every Monday morning at SpinLegends we share a 'Monday Motivation' video to get our players in the right frame of mind. Whether it's poker, chess, sport, business or study, the lessons are always universal, so we want to get you pumped in the same way. 

Today's video should give you the boost you need to take some (non-gambling) risks this week. It is a reminder that most people choose safety over excellence by avoiding failure entirely. It's a fallacy that the winners in life don't fail, in fact they almost certainly fail much much more than the average person. 

The most profound lesson here is perhaps that it is more crowded fighting for the 2nd place prizes in life than it is to go for top prizes. Anyone who has seen how willing people are to blind away near the bubble in tournaments knows exactly what this is like. Take a risk this week and aim for something your peers would never dare to try.
