Everyone interviewed in our book is an ordinary person. Our contributors include a landscaper, teacher, barista, real estate broker, contractor, home inspector, housewife, marine, house painter, etc. They are average, everyday people.
What they do may be ordinary but who they have become is extraordinary by being whatever is necessary: courageous, focused, determined, accepting, loving, forgiving, etc.
When LeBron James plays basketball and makes a spectacular flying leap with a spin, a loop and dunk… that’s an ordinary act for him. It may appear extraordinary to a spectator, but he is simply doing what comes naturally to him.
And when Bono mastered his ordinary singing ability… it transcended into an extraordinary gift of connecting emotion and message into a beautiful art form.
Being extraordinary means there is
uniqueness in your ordinariness.
There is an ordinary power in all of us too and by putting it into action your possibilities are infinite… and the results are: you’ll be extraordinary in your life and everyone else’s life.
Allow me to emphasize this one more time: Your gift may seem ordinary and perhaps even trivial to you, but when you exercise it and put it into use… it can be extraordinary to everyone else.
Please do not deny us your extraordinariness. Just Be It.
