There is a great value generated when we stretch to become extraordinary, rather than ordinary in our lives. Ordinary is often thought to be the target to aim for so that we might fit in while doing so. If we only hold to be ordinary, we might be left alone as unaccountable for a greater good.
Do more than you are easily capable of and you, along with others, will benefit greatly. There is a lot of room above the line of standard acts for you to reach toward.
Think and act with purpose for what you want to become and what you want to contribute and more extraordinary things will follow. Think with passion for what you give of yourself and not what you get for yourself.
It isn’t as easy, but none of us would have a single regret in the end for determined and extraordinary acts performed well above our ordinary.
“Ordinary riches can be stolen; real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” — Oscar Wilde —
