First of all, I hope you had a great week. My week was very productive. I was able to get a lot of big tasks done. Also, I was able to have another great conversation with one of my mentors. What I learned during that conversation shifted my life to a new level. In fact, I walked away from that conversation with so much value and a ton of new strategies. I’ve already started to implement those strategies and the results have been amazing. Also, new relationships are being formed and so many great things are on the horizon. We’re quickly approaching the end of the second quarter. It behooves you to stay focused and do not entertain any distractions. Give your full attention to your goals and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. Attention always drives results!
Have you settled for simply existing? Are you okay with living an ordinary life? Do you really believe that you were born to live an extraordinary life? I talk to people every single day that want to know the key to a successful life. While many things go into achieving a life of success, one thing I have learned in my lifetime is that success is a decision and a commitment. Sadly, not many people are willing to choose success or commit to success. A lot of people are okay living average lives. They sit in front of the television for hours, scroll social media all day and send out countless text messages. However, the moment you mention discipline and success they have a million excuses. Ultimately, this indicates to me that a person is not really serious about being successful. Too many people have settled for existing. They are comfortable living a common life. They refuse to move beyond their comfort zones in order to create massive change in their lives. These individuals think that their good intentions and hope will produce a better life. However, they are unwilling to pay the price necessary to reach their greatest potential. I know these people all too well. I deny them access to me because my time is too valuable to waste on people that have no intention of being successful. Existing is the womb of extinction. You should never be okay with simply existing when you have been called to greatness.
Unfortunately, we live in an era where many people are okay living ordinary lives. I’ve spent a lifetime developing my mind. So I am able to quickly identify a person that has settled for a life of limitations and boundaries. Essentially, I discovered years ago that I was created to defy limitations and cross boundaries. My life and work has been groundbreaking. It has taken courage and confidence to pioneer new ground through my work. I’ve paid the price of being misunderstood, mocked and even criticized for daring to live beyond limits. God knew when He created me that I could handle the threats and challenges that come with being a trailblazer. Ordinary is just not acceptable for me. I am not okay just sitting back and observing life. I was born to get into the game and be a playmaker. God’s breath is too precious for me to settle for mediocrity. You cannot afford to waste your life. There is something that you have been put on this planet to do. You will remain frustrated and unfulfilled until you find your place of destiny. While your path will be different from my path, you must never be okay with a mediocre, mundane and meaningless life. Ordinary simply means that you do not value the treasures that have been placed on the inside of you. Choosing to be ordinary is refusing to cultivate the seed of greatness that has been deposited in you. The days of blending in are over. It is time to stand out and be a difference maker in your generation!
As you can see, I am very passionate about this message. I know unequivocally that I was not born to live an ordinary life. My uncommon thinking is what has attracted the attention of people all over the world. I know that I was born to live an extraordinary life. More importantly, I have dared to live an extraordinary life. When others have lowered the bar, I chose to raise the bar. When doors were slammed in my face, I chose to build my own door. When people laughed at my dreams, I ignored them and decided to live the life of my dreams. Ultimately, I have refused to settle or allow anything to set me back. I have remained focused on my future even in the midst of the fire. Many people speak from a place of motivation and inspiration. However, I speak prophetically to the nations. I speak to the hidden potential that is inside every human being. I speak to your true self that is trying desperately to emerge. There is nothing common about your life. You have been called to greatness. The moment you discover that everything about your life changes. You stop seeing yourself at the bottom. You start to see yourself reaching your best potential and your best ability. Extraordinary living requires you to step out of the box and step into your brilliance. You were made for so much more than an ordinary life. Extraordinary living is allowing adversity to advance you, turbulence to serve as a catalyst to triumph and allowing difficulty to unleash your difference. Extraordinary living is choosing to live an exceptional and world-class life.
In closing, I have so much more I could say to you about living an extraordinary life. However, I think that you are starting to get the picture of what it means to be extraordinary. It is time for you to move beyond the common and be cutting-edge in everything that you do. Ordinary is not a word that exists in my vocabulary. Also, those closest to me can attest that I do not connect with ordinary people. I have filled my life with world shakers and history makers. I challenge every person around me to reach their greatest potential. Sadly, not every person is willing to break out of their comfort zone. You were made to live a great life but you have to believe that. Your life won’t get better until you address your belief system. Extraordinary living is my portion because I have dared to cultivate an uncommon mindset. It is time for you to stop sitting back and letting life pass you by. Now is the time to break free from the spirit of average and achieve the life of your dreams. Dare to be extraordinary!
