Ordinary vs Extraordinary quote:
“Why live an ordinary life, when you can live an extraordinary one.”
– Tony Robbins
Understand the big idea or meaning behind this quote:
It’s seems like a controversial topic to tell people to live an extraordinary life.
There’s many posts saying, “why it’s okay to live an ordinary life”. There’s is nothing wrong with living an ordinary life. But many people are just fed lies to accept the reality and to accept their situation that they are not happy with. You don’t want to lie to yourself if you aren’t happy or try to convince yourself that you are because it’ll show up in other ways.
Most studies show Americans are not happy at their jobs.
In fact, the risk of heart attack is 11 percent higher on Mondays than any other day (Feel free to fact check – I couldn’t believe it myself when I heard that stat).
Gary Vaynerchuk has entered the chat…
I like Gary’s view on this, “we should put happiness on a pedestal.”
Happiness may not be the right word Gary, maybe meaningful or fulfilling is better because that’s what the human spirit wants. It want’s to contribute to something greater than themselves, not feel like a cog in a machine just scraping by.
Now, if you’re sincerely happy doing what you do, that’s great, you won the game that is life. But if you aren’t then do something about it, change it, do things differently. You know, try something new, take risks, go back to the drawing board and retool and reengage when you’re equipped.
Jim Rohn has entered the chat…
This leads me to a quote by Jim Rohn where he says, “America is easy! That’s why everyone wants to come here. People haven’t plotted and schemed for 50 years just to say ‘if I could just get to Poland everything would be okay.’”
America is a land of abundance and opportunity.
Now, you can even make the argument with globalization and the advent of the internet people all across the globe can tap into different markets they otherwise didn’t have access to.
So, be honest with yourself and where you are, that’s the message. Only then can you improve, only then you can make real meaningful progress. That the message of quote #44 I’d suggest you continue with your reading – check out of the greatest success quotes.
