Well, now, you might be sittin’ there thinkin’ what does it mean to be an “above average guy”? Is it somethin’ like bein’ better than most folks or just a little bit above the rest? Lemme tell ya, it ain’t just about bein’ good at somethin’, it’s about goin’ beyond what’s expected, and doin’ things a bit differently than the crowd. Ain’t no need to be a genius or some fancy businessman to be an above average guy, no sir, it’s more about takin’ the regular stuff and makin’ it shine a little brighter.
Now, when I say above average, I don’t mean you gotta have a fancy job or a pile of money sittin’ in the bank. No, no, that’s not what I’m talkin’ about. An above average guy is someone who stands out just enough to make folks take notice. Maybe he’s the one who gets things done without complainin’. Or maybe he’s the fella who helps out his neighbors even when there’s nothin’ in it for him. He don’t have to be a saint, but he sure ain’t your average Joe either.
Think about it. The average guy, he’s the one who wakes up, goes to work, comes home, watches TV, eats his dinner, and then goes to bed. That’s all. He don’t ask questions, he don’t push himself. He’s just doin’ what he’s gotta do to get by, nothin’ wrong with that, but ain’t much standin’ out, neither. But that above average guy, he ain’t just livin’ to get by. He’s livin’ to do better, to be better. Whether it’s in his work or his personal life, he’s always lookin’ for ways to improve.
How do ya spot an above average guy?
- He don’t settle for average. He’s always pushin’ himself to do more, learn more, and be better than he was yesterday.
- He ain’t afraid of takin’ risks. Sure, he might mess up now and then, but he gets back up and tries again, smarter than before.
- He takes pride in the little things. A man who cares about doin’ things right, no matter how small they seem, is somethin’ special.
- He listens more than he talks. He knows the value of a good conversation and learns a lot from just payin’ attention.
And you know what? An above average guy don’t have to be out there in the big city makin’ big moves or gettin’ his name in lights. Sometimes, it’s the simple things that set him apart. He’s the one that holds the door for ya when you’re carryin’ a load of groceries. He’s the one who makes sure his family’s takin’ care of, even if it means workin’ a little harder than the next fella. He’s the one who, when things get tough, don’t just sit there and complain—he gets up, rolls up his sleeves, and figures it out.
What makes an above average guy different?
- He takes responsibility. No passin’ the blame, no throwin’ up his hands when things go wrong. He owns his mistakes and fixes ’em.
- He shows up. Whether it’s to work, to a family event, or to help a friend, he’s there when he’s needed. You won’t find him makin’ excuses.
- He’s kind, not because he wants somethin’ in return, but because it’s the right thing to do.
See, bein’ above average ain’t about showin’ off or tryin’ to be better than everyone else. It’s about doin’ what you can to be better than the person you were yesterday. You don’t gotta be the richest, smartest, or most successful fella around. But if you can look in the mirror and say, “I gave it my best shot today,” then you’re on the right track to bein’ an above average guy.
So next time you catch yourself thinkin’ you ain’t doin’ enough, just remember: even the little things can set you apart. It don’t take much to be better than average, just a little effort and a whole lotta heart.
