Am I Normal?

Is it normal to ask what normal is? What is normal?  Is it okay to act normal, to be normal, to have normal goals?  

Do you want to be just normal?  Do you want to have normal outcomes or do you want to have spectacular ones instead?  Would spectacular outcomes make you feel abnormal? Or would they make you feel accomplished?  

As a student, do you want to be a normal average follow the rules and get by type of student or do you want to go for superb and maybe even get the extra credit?  What satisfies you?  And is normal grades okay for you or is it okay for your normal parents?  Are you wanting to be normal so that your parents and the rest of your family thinks of you as a normal person and not an outcast or embarrassment?  

Are you ready to be a normal 9 to 5 type of employee?  Or would you rather be an above and beyond type of employee who puts in the late hours not because they pay you overtime, but because you love what you do?  Normally, most people just put in their 9 to 5 and expect a normal paycheck at the end of a normal two weeks. 

Do you want to be a normal spouse, or do you want to be a spouse who is spontaneous and finds ways to spice things up a bit?  Or would that be considered abnormal by your better half and or your close intimate friends?  

Being normal has a very just here on earth to settle for the normal stuff kind of feeling to it.  I would rather prefer to be seen as abnormal taking some risks and doing somethings that go beyond the normal realm of the human normal experience.  Its one life to live, so why not live a unique and stupendous type life that is going to leave a mark on this planet for its abnormality!
