don't settle for the middle of the rock

"The word "mediocre" was originally a mountain-climbing term.  It literally means "middle of the rock".  It describes climbers who choose to stop halfway up.  Reaching the summit is too hard.  It's not worth it.  Our commitment to excellence is eclipsed by our mental laziness.  Most of life's battles are won or lost in your mind.  This means they're determined before you ever begin.  What goes on in your mind comes out in your life." - Tim Elmore
