Welcome back to the quarter of a day show.

I'm here to host Sean Crox and Ashan Crox and

we've got Dr. John, team Artini, back on the show.

And today the doctor is going to encourage you to stop settling for mediocrity.

You've got to raise your standards.

If somebody were to ask me like what percentage of the population do you think is settling for

mediocrity? I'd be like 87 percent. 87 percent of the population is choosing to stay where they are.

Despite all of the unlimited possibilities that exist for themselves,

despite the unlimited potential that they have within them, they are settling for mediocrity.

And what you'll find is that 87 percent of that 87 percent, if not more,

is blaming their mediocreness on somebody else. Whether it's a person or it's the system or

whatever it may be, I'm going to give you a book recommendation.

And it's by Nathaniel Brandon and Willie Gregg this a couple of weeks ago, he loved it.

It's called taking responsibility. If you want to stop living a mediocre life,

you have to take responsibility for your life.

Full and complete responsibility for your life. When you do that, that's when everything opens up for you.

That's when you can take control of your life. You have that internal

locus of control you might have heard about, and people talk about in psychology.

Successful people who live above mediocrity have an internal locus of control.

They say, I am responsible and in control of my circumstances and conditions.

If we can't do that, nothing ever changes. So I highly recommend you read that book.

And also I'm going to highly recommend Dr. D. Martini talks about this, that you choose to be excellent.
