Realize What No Other Can
If you want to live a life that is truly amazing, you need to realize what no one else can. My point is not just that they can't do whatever it is you're attempting but, more importantly, that they don't have the same passion for it. The people around them won't be able to help them and neither will their environment or cultural context. That's why this blog post will teach you the secrets of how to take your life from ordinary to extraordinary so that your success feels inevitable instead of a pipedream.
~Step 1: Make a Choice~
Every truly great life is built on decisions made by the individual for the individual without regard for anyone else. You need to be willing to do what others will not, even if you know that they disagree with you. After all, even your closest friends and family are inclined to think that you're crazy because it's just not what people do. They'll be telling you that your path is wrong and trying their best to convince you to follow the herd instead.
~Step 2: Learn From the Best~
Your life is already shaping up to be special because you have uncommon goals. In order to achieve them, though, you're going to need a little help. That's where a mentor can come in handy. The thing is, not just anyone can be a mentor. You need someone who has actually done what you want to do and succeeded in doing it. You need a role model and you need to be able to meet with them regularly so they can show you how they did what they did.
Finally, bear in mind that nothing is a sure thing. Even the most successful people fail more than once along the way. Great success only comes from an overwhelming desire for achieving your goal and an unwavering focus on getting there despite all of the obstacles standing in your way. If you want to be a success and make the most of your life, you need to see life differently than everyone else. Everyone sees what they expect to see but they don't think about what they need to achieve. You have the rare opportunity here to make your own way, even if it leads off the grid so that no one will follow you. There is no one like you in this world and that's exactly why you can become someone as great as no one else has ever been.
~Step 3: Plan Ahead~
Wishing and hoping is not enough. You need to have a plan that can make all of your dreams come true. That doesn't mean you need to be a planner in the conventional sense, though. There is no such thing as a conventional success story because every individual is different. The best kind of planning, therefore, always involves flexibility and adaptation. If you can do that while still fulfilling your goal and living life the way you want, you're ahead of the game.
~Step 4: Love Yourself~
I know this one sounds tough and it probably is. I don't think anyone could ever love themselves as much as they should. For one thing, you're prone to making mistakes and you're likely to blame yourself for them for a long time if not forever. For another thing, your life is what it is right now so you don't have any control over it in the first place. To make matters worse, you could try really hard to change things and still not be happy with it. This can drag on until you're done fighting with yourself and everyone else or you choose to live your life the way that works for you.
~Step 5: Pursue Mastery~
If you want to become great at something, it's not enough to just do it over and over again until you get better at it. That's how you become good, not great. You have to have a goal that you're always reaching for. If you can keep that in mind as you move forward, it will give you the motivation to keep going when things get hard and everyone is telling you to stop. When your goal is something that really matters to you and everyone else thinks it's nuts…that's when it's time to change something about the way you live your life because what no one else can do, no one else will understand. ~Step 6: Create Something New~
If you want to live an extraordinary life, you need to realize that it's not just about becoming accomplished in something. It's also about doing something that hasn't been done before or at least not for a very long time. If you can do that, the world will be yours for the taking.
~Step 7: Don't Wait~
There's no better time than now for realizing all of your dreams and making them come true. That's all that anyone could ask for because nobody in the world is going to be waiting for you to fulfill them and, even if they are, there's nothing that's preventing you from doing what needs to be done.
~Step 8: Play~
The final step is probably the most important of them all. If you want to become someone great, you have to play with people who think they're great but aren't.
Conclusion:
You can live an extraordinary life and achieve the kind of success that no one else has ever imagined. You just need to realize what no one else can; what no one else will; and how to use the lessons of your mentors to make it happen.
~Step 9: Create Your Own Life~
Your life is yours. It's not anyone else's to live for you or even live along side of you. You need to be willing to do whatever it takes as a man or woman in order to get it right.
