Go beyond the ordinary

EXTRAORDINARY DOES NOT COME BY DEFAULT

Stars do not just shine simply because they exist, they shine because they burn continuously due to the immense pressure, and heat force that takes place within its core, whenever that pressure and heat stops, the star dies out. You cannot shine if you do not burn, and burning requires a lot of efforts, which must be intentional, dedicated, and continuous.

You are made of light, there is a lot of fire within you that needs to burn, and shine for the world to see. That fire does not ignite itself, it must be ignited consciously. Extraordinary does not come by default, it does not just happen, it has to be activated, it is not factory set, nor is it pre-installed. There is no gain in the ordinary, one must make a conscious choice and decision to push beyond the pull of mediocrity that keeps you grounded.

The default path is that which has been smoothened by billions of footsteps, the safe track from cradle to the grave, only diluted by a few moment of happiness and adventure. This is the comfortable, predictable, life itinerary of most. You have to get out of that ordinary mould which will shape you into the usual and ordinary, but never challenge you to stand tall. However, on the path to the extraordinary, you blaze the trail yourself, you hack through all the obstructions, and obstacles, and you become the pace setter that others follow, carving out a legacy that echoes through time.

The world does not owe you greatness, greatness is already in you, the world only rewards those who seize the opportunity to execute their greatness. No one will clear your path, you have to forge it yourself. Let your actions scream louder than your excuses, because extraordinary is not a destination, it is the fire you stoke within, day after day, until you become the star that lights the way for others.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
