Become extraordinary

quotesTHERE are a lot of quotes that can help push us to do better. Perhaps there are a million quotes that talk about going beyond your comfort zone, reaching for the stars, doing your best. Of those many quotes, a few will connect with you deeply. And those few that you gravitate to the most are the ones you will probably commit to memory.

This is the quotable quote that I always recall when I need a little booster:

“You can decide to be two types of people. You can be ordinary or you can be extraordinary. The only difference between those two words is extra. If you do extra, you can be extraordinary. If you don’t want an extraordinary life, just stop doing extra.” — Steve Harvey

Ordinary vs extraordinary. That one word isn’t only a five-letter difference, but one that creates a huge impact when acted on.

How have you become extraordinary today?

    that’s right! it’s not always about the BIG stuff we do for others, for the world (world peace…) but the small things that count too. I’ve seen people - in the supermarket, bookstore, etc.- who just pass by something, a hankie, a book, a merchandise, that has dropped to the floor, moving away from it as fast as possible or looking nonchalant about it. this disgusts me so much. i pity those sales girls who keep cleaning up after us. next time, let’s all try to be a little considerate and do a good deed without waiting for return. now that’s extraordinary!

    We become extraordinary not just by doing big life-changing things. It can also be as little as doing something “extra” for another person, like giving marbles to the housekeeper’s son. Just my own little way of somehow being “extra,” at least for him. :)
