I was deeply affected by the passing of Robin Williams in August of this year.
Having suffered from depression myself over the years, I can appreciate the feeling. It reminded me of his legacy, the huge library of films he has, and of one in particular.
Probably the most prolific of all his movies was “Dead Poets Society”. There is a very famous quote from this movie:
Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary
It rings true for us all. What does it take to make your life extraordinary?
I think it goes a little like this:
- Know you are extraordinary first and foremost – you DO NOT have to earn it.
- Clean up your past, make peace with those you have wronged, and find a way to exist with your family in harmony cause who you are as a person is who you are in business.
- Know what you love to do, really know it, not just what you think, but what truly lights you up.
- Find something that you are really good at and stick with it till you master it.
- Don’t let anyone tell you who you are and what you like, be true to yourself.
- Stand up for yourself, don’t ever be a victim. Take responsibility for everything in your life.
- Know that when you aren’t getting what you want, its because you are resisting something – find out what it is and heal it or it will be with you on the journey of your life.
Those are some of what I have found help make us extraordinary, over many many years of study, coaching, working and applying all of it. Sometimes we can’t find it for ourselves and we need a little help.
I recently created a dynamite webinar where I shared the blueprint I created that helps us find our own version of extraordinary, another way to say it is ‘our bliss’, or ‘what we were meant for’.
Find what You were Meant for & Design a Career around It is all about connecting the purpose to the career – that is where you are in that sweet spot, the bliss spot.
