Truly Extraordinary

What do you consider extraordinary?

Every other person these days is attempting to stand out from the rest in everything he/she does so as to be unique and special. Who is truly extaordinary? Someone who try really hard to be outstanding or
someone who is truly happy being contented being themselves?

I think the latter is truly extraordinary as the latter is not influenced by people around him/her constantly trying to be better off than the other person, the alluring consumer ads telling you that you can be slimmer, more attractive if you consume this new product and many more modern society dieases that tells you that being contented is no longer enough in this new society.

Those of us who consistently strive to perform better than our colleague to climb the corporate ladder for more recognition, most of all money. The corporate is great at making the employees work their asses off to achieve their bottom line. We honestly, innocently believe that we will reap great rewards for doing so.

Sadly, truly more can be achieved if we spend that extra bout of energy on devoted to our OWN persomal goals in our lives, could be a hobby or family member and whatever that you do that will make you happy.

It truly does not matter how extraordinary our lives are to others, but to ourselves!
That is my definition of a life extraordinary lived!
