Mediocre

I've been struggling lately with motivation. Meaning I've had hardly any. So the other day I went on an LDS.org search for quotes on mediocrity to get me off my lazy butt. Because, let's face it, that's something I find myself slipping into way too often. (Mediocrity, not my butt. Weird.)
I am so grateful for modern revelation and living scripture. And for the internet for making this inspiring quotes so easy to find. ^_^
