The Average Joe's

If we go into life expecting more than what we already have we'll end up coming out with less.
This can apply to almost anything.
It could be something as simple as a reward or a prize.
Personally, I've had experiences were I felt I was entitled to an award for the work that I've done.
This didn't always mean that my work was always the best it could be.
I could've always improved my work but instead I chose to just get the job done.
In time my perspective began to change.
I slowly began to realize that I wasn't approaching life correctly.
I was always expecting to get something for the work I've done.
When I came up short I would be disappointed.
I began noticing that those who weren't expecting a prize or a reward were getting them.
At first I didn't understand why this was but then one day it hit me.
These people aren't trying to always come out on top.
There just an average Joe who works hard.
They do their job because it's their passion not because of the money.
These are the people that tend to blend within the crowd.
Not everyone see's the amount of work that they do.
Someday soon I hope to be more like the average Joe.
I'll focus more on the quality of the work and less on the prize.
I'll set manageable goals and dreams.
It may not happen over night but as long as I aspire to be the very best that I can be, that's all that will really matter.
