Habits of the Uncommonly Extraordinary
No one starts out this life saying, “I’m going to be ordinary”. Deep down we all desire more. We often find ourselves getting bogged down by obligations, expectations, fears and .....the allure of low hanging fruit.
Sometimes we feel like we are “Settling,” but we are really taking the path of least resistance. While it is good to take the path of least resistance, it is also the extraordinary habits of a remarkable person that make one able to rise up and become great. Our personal habits like, cultivating creativity, eating healthy and making good lifestyle choices help us to be the best we can be. Caring for our body, mind and spirit are essential to achieving our greatest goals for ourselves. Extraordinary people leave the low hanging fruit and strive to reach for the sweeter taste of the higher achievements.
How do we live an exceptional life when we are surrounded by the everyday minutiae? How do we live a greater existence? Well, for starters, we we can always choose to look at the bright side of things, never letting the weight of the world drag us down. Turn off the television, seek adventure over convenience, choose your battles, resist the urge to do what is easy over what is right. We can nurture our curiosity every day, learn constantly and seek the unknown. By being immersed the present but invested in the future, we are unmoved by failures and realize they are just steps in learning. Extraordinary people understand that failure is a temporary event, not a trait. When we learn to just laugh at ourself and move on, it’s so much easier to leave the past where it belongs.
The most successful people in this world create their own opportunities. They look for value in the small things, they create value, they ask questions, they take that one extra step when other’s do not. They appreciate even the smallest of victories and are resourceful in all things. The most uncommon of extraordinary people create something that outlives them.
Success is more than just making a buck. When you have something special and unique to offer the world and you allow your passion and creativity to take over, work doesn’t feel like work. When you tap into the creative power of the universe, you are capable of Incredible things. Yes, YOU! Follow your heart and do what you feel inspired to do - Always.
Choose to be Uncommonly Extraordinary and above all else choose to be Happy. Have Faith in God’s higher purpose for your existence.
I love you,
Stacy
