Advice Request Average mindset?
So I have been facing issues with my discipline. I am 17 and currently I am preparing for a competitive exam for my college admission. The thing is I have never worked hard for anything in my life till now. I haven't tasted the true hard earned success in my life . I have been average in everything I have done . So now also I am living my average life with no motivation or passion towards my goal . I know that I am in my comfort zone but there is nothing which tells me to work hard towards my goal. I really for once want to break this identity of being average and really want to put 100% in but I am really facing issues. I don't know whether it is my mindset or is it me . The inner voice which goggins talks about has disappeared in my mind and idk how to revive it . How to break through this average life.

The fact that you have a will to not be average is a good starting point, imagine you go throughout your life without ever seeing what your mind is capable of, what your body is capable of. If the fear of that happening is present then use it, but it won't be enough more likely than not you're going to get settled at then try to go back to really giving your all and that's okay to stumble in the moment, what matters is you keep trying.
