Status Quo is usually associated with average or mediocre. In reality it’s not good or bad. It just states someone’s existing condition.
What is your Status Quo? Is your life average or mediocre? Are you stuck in survival mode or riding on the coat-tails of past successes. Are you constantly improving or just existing? If you’re not careful, Status Quo could mean you’re losing momentum while your competition is gaining speed.
Status Quo – n. The existing condition or state of affairs.
