The Extraordinary

Most of the times, I have heard people saying that they can’t do something because they’re not the gifted ones. Somebody else has the ability to do it. As they say, ‘the extraordinary’ people are rare to find in the society today. Whenever I hear these conversations, I laugh & ask them, ‘really?’ Obviously, their faces are like, ‘you don’t understand the core of the discussion; so shut up.’

 But sometimes I really wonder, why do these people think that they’re ordinary & somebody else is extraordinary? Aren’t they insulting themselves, their potential and their calibre?
The stupidity sometimes meets its limits. Their thinking pattern becomes ‘secondary’.
They refuse to accept the best things, even if they are ready to come. Because they are scared of the reactions of the people. Again, they choose to be ordinary. Unaccepted.

What is really extraordinary? I read a quote once. “The difference between ordinary & extraordinary is most of the times that little word extra.”
Very valuable thought, something to think about. What do the extraordinary people do?
Their approach is extraordinary. They love to dream big. They see everything without the prejudices. They do not procrastinate. Their formula is very simple.


 When the world looks at the mountain & says, ‘Oh, crap! I have to climb this huge mountain?’ They take one step ahead. Every day, every moment they take small, simple steps. When the world rests, they remind themselves about their goal, their dream.

“The heights by great men reached & kept, were not attained by sudden flight;
   But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.”

They take initiative; they take small steps with calculated risks. They do not make big moves, they walk gradually. Remember the old tale of the turtle & rabbit? The slow & the steady wins the race. Similarly, keeping the moral of this story in the mind always, these people walk step by step & before they know it, they arrive at the place called ‘the extraordinary’.

 Others wonder how did they achieve it & they can’t find the way to compete. But remember friends, this way is not as easy as I have mentioned it. It has a lot of path-holes, but the one with the faith & hope crosses each & every obstacle. And that is my promise to you. Just mark the mountain which you want to cross & dream about it only. Be the leader, be extraordinary.
Bless you! :)
