You were born extraordinary
Perhaps somewhere along your life’s journey, someone reminded you that you have gifts, and that you can do anything you set your mind to.
Maybe you overcame a challenge that seemed insurmountable at the time.
Maybe you helped influence or shape an amazing human being, or made a difference in the life of another soul.
Perhaps you achieved a dream that you once only imagined.
Or you surprised everyone, including yourself, by doing something no one thought you could.
​​
And then, somewhere along the way, life happened.
After all, there are bills to be paid, laundry to be folded, children to be bandaged, transported and tucked in, meals to be made, traffic navigated, emails answered, meetings attended, and obligations to be met. Hit the repeat button day after day, year after year and, somewhere in the mix of our daily routines and responsibilities — we forget just how extraordinary we truly are.
When we think of extraordinary people, we often picture those larger-than-life people we admire from afar — the “beautiful” people, the award winners, celebrities, and legendary icons featured on the covers of magazines.
You don’t have to be a celebrity or a rock star to live an extraordinary life.
Pause for a moment and think about this:
Who is someone you know personally in your life who you consider to be extraordinary?
How would you describe them?
REAL-LIFE EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE ARE:
Growth-Oriented constantly learning and growing
Choice-Driven
take responsibility for their actions, knowing that, while they can’t control all events or other people, they can always control how they respond
Resilient
bounce back from setbacks even stronger than before
Expansive thinker
ask “How good can I get?” “How can we make this better?”
Action-Takers
the most extraordinary people don’t just think, they do.
Dedicated to making a difference
whether your contribute your ample talents to a cause or light up another soul in the moment
Did you notice the powerful reminder woven within these words?
You are graced.
Graced that, in all the history of time, there is only one you.
Graced that your journey has led you to become the exact person that you are now, with all of your gifts, scars, lessons and light. 
And just as you are graced, your unique light graces others.
So, that real-life extraordinary person you had in mind —
do you recognize any of these characteristics in them?
Do you recognize any of these characteristics in yourself?
You are already extraordinary.
