Georgia and I took my little sister Lara to the beach last weekend.

Georgia and I always leave early to skip the traffic, and I decided this was the perfect metaphor to teach Lara a life lesson that I wished I’d learned years earlier:

The average path that most take leads to the average result that most get.

I first understood this philosophy when I happened to leave early and noticed there was no traffic. And again when I was travelling and walked a few kilometres outside the popular areas only to find it was less crowded and had cheaper, more authentic experiences.

But this idea extends into every aspect of life:

  • Average nutrition leads to average health
  • Average financial discipline leads to average finances
  • Average experiences lead to uninteresting stories you could find in millions of other minds

One of life’s greatest misconceptions is that you can only live a bad life if you succumb to addiction, crime and other sin.
