There are many extraordinary people we witness doing extraordinary things. Take Roz Savage for example, her opening line in her TED talk this April is “Hi, I’m Roz Savage and I row across oceans.”
In listening to her talk about choosing ‘adventure’ over ‘comfort’ and seeking a life that makes a difference, she opens a door to an understanding I often use with clients when they make self-limiting statements; and that is:
It’s simply the story you tell yourself, change your story.
It is worth taking a little less than 18 minutes of your time to listen to her talk and experience a thought process where many leadership lessons begin. For a hint of the leadership lessons I gleaned from this extraordinary, remarkable woman; scroll down to the bottom of the page.
5 Steps To Extraordinary
- You already have extraordinary within you, all you need do is choose to use it.
- Create a different story, the story from your past is not the story of your future.
- You have the power to decide your own direction, even when the world around you thinks you are crazy.
- That which we focus on, we intensify. All things are made possible with strong focus in the direction you desire.
- Happiness does not come to you, you create it by following your values and dreams.
