Become the CEO of your life !
If you want to live an exceptional and extraordinary life, you have to give up many of the things that are part of a normal one. The larger mob of society will never experience true success. Why? Because this majority is unwilling to become the CEO of their life — they’d rather someone else call the shots. They are unwilling to take risks, to fail publicly, and be forced to try again after getting knocked down. They are unwilling to sacrifice what is good for what is great. In short, they are unwilling to give up their “normal” life.
Everything Has a Cost. Good is the enemy of great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great. Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life.
One of the cornerstones of an extraordinary life is giving up the safety nets, security, and guarantees of a normal life. Maybe this is a steady paycheck at a job that will never allow you to reach your full potential. Maybe it’s the static 9–5 schedule. Maybe it’s a guaranteed retirement plan. Of course, you don’t have to live in this scenario for the rest of your life. This lifestyle is exhausting at first — you’re always on your toes, never knowing when the next paycheck is coming in, unsure of the future. But the extraordinary life gives you full control over your life and actions, at the cost of the comfort of having others call the shots. This is one of the hardest parts to give up, and takes a long time to really sink in for even the most dedicated entrepreneurs, adventurers, and risk-takers.
Separating ourselves from the herd is scary, and the criticisms and warnings from others might even sound-wise. Let it go. This is your life, not theirs. If you want to live an extraordinary life, your definition of success must be your own. If we are always chasing what other people tell us to, we’ll never experience true success.
Ultimately, it’s up to you what you’re willing to sacrifice to achieve an extraordinary life. There is no formula. But one thing is certain: you will need to sacrifice. It will be hard. It won’t be pleasant. But the life you’re achieving — the extraordinary life — will be more rewarding than a normal life could ever be. Your relationships, finances, health, knowledge, passion, and purpose will all reach levels higher than ever before. Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊
