@Joe It really can be that simple! Appreciate you sharing the words that guide your leadership.

@Lawrence Excellent! You also point to the power words can have. Inquiring more deeply into the meaning of a word like you did with “extraordinary” creates a new level of awareness. That awareness is likely to drive the choices, even the small ones, we make for as long as we stay awake to what we discovered/are discovering.

Susan,
Your post was a real wake-up call and very inspirational. I haven’t given much thought to consciously going beyond the ordinary. I’ve lost track of the meaning and application of extraordinary.

I looked up some of the dictionary definitions of extraordinary are: “Beyond what is ordinary or usual; highly exceptional; remarkable: an extraordinary achievement.”

In re-visiting the past 30 days, some may qualify as “beyond the ordinary,” but all fall significantly short of “highly exceptional, remarkable, or an extraordinary achievement”.

I’m going to work on it. Thanks.

“Make a difference.”

That’s mine, and since I’ve started using it, it has become ingrained in my daily approach, from starting my day on Twitter with it, to my approach at the office and home.

It makes a difference.
