Becoming an Extraordinary You
by Maria Khalife
“Cut not the wings of your dreams, for they are the heartbeat and the freedom of your soul”. ~ Flavia
If you want to become an extraordinary “you,” you’ll need a solid foundation of understanding the basics of what life is all about. Put yourself out there first. Don’t care what anyone else thinks; just become a unique you unlike any other.
You understand you better than anyone else does. Make improvements on who you are every single day. Know your strengths while keeping in mind that ‘humility is truth.’
It’s wonderful to have hope operational as long as you know hope is about expectation and not wishing. Expect real results. Turn a deaf ear on naysayers. Celebrate your small steps down the long road. There’s a pot of gold at the end. Stop on your path whenever you become aware of someone behind you and offer them a helping hand. Promise this day to never complain again but to search for workable solutions.
The One, Grand, Wonderful You is a unique, rare, precious piece of consciousness. You are unfolding a new, bright sense of your Self with every book you read, every article you digest, every other individual you listen to, every experience you have under your belt. Most importantly, you listen to you. You are limitless potential in the process of becoming more.
Your ceaseless activities are how you put into use everything you are learning about your One, Grand, and Wonderful Self. Musicians practice their instruments numberless hours a day with a sense of both hard work and joy intertwined. This is how you live your life: numberless hours a day with a sense of both hard work and joy intertwined on your path to health,wealth, success and happiness.
There will always be those behind you on the path who will throw rocks. It’s actually quite a compliment. They don’t throw rocks at those behind them, only those in front who are hacking a fresh path out of the jungle. Be thrilled that you are in front. Way-showers like you are in great demand.
While you polish your shoes, or present a new approach at work, or cradle your baby, or enjoy a fine Cabernet, remember that you are simultaneously unfolding the wisdom about your Self and about Life that experience affords, and that you grow in self-knowledge and understanding as well.
