O rdinary people achieve extraordinary results with extraordinary effort. ..........................................
When you hear stories about people achieving remarkable things, what you are really hearing are stories of people
displaying extraordinary courage, extraordinary dedication, extraordinary desire, and extraordinary vision. Whether
we are referring to Jerry Rice, recently named the number one player in the NFL’s top 100 players or inventors like
Louis Pasteur and Ben Franklin this rule absolutely holds true.
Three Spiritual T ruths to help reveal your extraordinary nature: .......................................................
As within, as without: Author Caroline Myss said it succinctly when she explained “Your biography becomes your
biology.” Scientists are now proving that your inner world creates your physical world. Examining your “story” in
addition to your relationships and habits, are some spiritually responsible ways to “prepare the soil” so that your
“extraordinary seeds” have a healthy place to grow.
You become like what you are around: It has been said that you are the sum total of the five people you spend the
most time with. Make a list of your five people and decide if you are thrilled by the list-- or need to make a change.
Unhappy friends, unhealthy family members or friends with addictions will not throw a party for you when you
decide to focus your efforts on your extraordinary vision. Because this is true, advocate for your personal the
environment; the choices and relationships that will best support what you want to create.
Taking care of you is selfless: You can only give as good as you’ve got. When you are your healthiest, most
energetic, creative and vibrant-self, you can more effectively support others and do extraordinary things. To quote
Dr. Wayne Dyer, “You can not get sick enough to heal one person, your cannot be poor enough to make one man
wealthy—and no amount of your feeling bad will ever make anyone feeling good.” When you honor this truth in
your life, you are also giving those who share your life permission to do the same.
Perhaps you have already utilized everything in your metaphorical acorn to achieve results that are fully congruent
with your full extraordinary-ness. If this is the case, celebrate! But, perhaps just now - you are beginning to be ready
to commit to the new consciousness you’ll need to reveal your extraordinary-self. If this is the case, consider the
story of the archeologists who first uncovered the ancient tomb of King Tut. These scientists found more than just the
sarcophagus of the boy king; they found jewels, pottery, clothing and food. This food was in the form of corn that
was thousands of years old. Just as you might pack a moving van to relocate to a new city, the Egyptians filled the
tombs of their rulers with what they believed would be needed in the after-life. This ancient corn was like a cooler
packed with sandwiches for the trip.
So the scientists used this ancient corn to do what scientists do. They planted some kernels to see if they could yield a
viable corn plant and tried to pop some kernels too. Thousands of years of lying dormant in a dark tomb did not
diminish the potential that was packed into each tiny corn kernel. This ancient corn could not only be popped, but
when it was planted, it also yielded healthy cornstalks, surprising and delighting the scientists!
Whether your extraordinary nature has been sealed up tightly in the dark or has been otherwise resting dormant
waiting for the right conditions in order to grow-- know that there is resilience in your inborn seeds of greatness.
Plant them and reveal the extraordinary nature already in you just waiting to manifest!
