People play very small in their lives when they can actually play bigger roles. There is no reward or satisfaction in being small or just good because the talents or skills are not fully utilized. To make the best use of talents and skills, we must know how much we want to grow in life.
Many people are good and they feel satisfied by displaying their abilities and their desire to be great. They think being good is sufficient but in reality that doesn't serve any purpose. We must aim in life to become great and then to become extraordinarily great because when we achieve our purpose on earth there is contentment and great rewards.
Mahatma Gandhi was a good lawyer but he didn't have a desire to be good always. Instead he pushed himself harder to become great and when he had achieved the great height of human endeavour he moved on to become extraordinarily great human being, leader, role model and the greatest soul to embrace non-violence throughout his life. If you want to be something in life, don't limit yourself to being good instead aim to be great and extraordinary person ever to exist on earth.
Bill Gates when he was in college, he learned about computers and he was good but he didn't want to remain good all the time. Instead he decided to become great and that decision to become great made him to drop out of the college and he pursued his dream to be great. Once he reached to the top level he was not complacent and satisfied. He forged ahead to become the greatest person. He became not only a billionaire at young age but also he became multi-billionaire and the richest man on earth. Today he has set another ambition to be greater and extraordinary human being by investing his fortune in taking care of sick, old and other poor countries. This is the example of being good to great to extraordinary.
We all of us can become great and extraordinary success here on earth but we should be clear about what to do in life. Any child can become good but we must never stay at that lower level of spectrum. We must move ahead in life and become great to extraordinary.
The students too can become great to extraordinary if they really choose to be one. Parents too must decide to be great to extraordinary great because there is no great meaning in playing small and good. Teachers too can be great to extraordinary teachers where they can inspire and motivate students to be great leaders. Politicians too have the golden chance to be extraordinary leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln and many other good leaders.
Some of the scientists, doctors, engineers, pilots, entrepreneurs have made themselves so great and so extraordinary that we feel they are Gods here on earth. The great motivational speakers, personal development experts and philosophers didn't stay at the lower spectrum of good rather they aimed higher and higher as a result they became great to extraordinary. Anthony Robbins, Wayne Dyer, Bob Proctor, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziggler, Randy Gage, Les Brown, Jack Canfield, Dennis Waitley, Joel Osteen, Robert Kiyosaki and many others who showed one thing that there is a possibility to be extraordinary person in life.
So what are you thinking in your mind? Do you plan to be just good, just great or superbly extraordinary person in your life? The choice is of course yours and I can't decide it for you. You have to have the vision for your life. You can't fit in my vision but we all can aspire to be extraordinary.
Visualize yourself to be superbly extraordinary in life, hold that picture in your mind and program your mind by affirming your ultimate desire and when you repeat this process again and again you can be sure that your chance of being that extraordinary person of great character, integrity, truth, honesty, values and enthusiasm will become a reality.
By being good we don't gain much but by becoming great to extraordinary we stand in alignment with great souls who walked on this earth. Thus we create a new world order and world peace through our greatness.
