Are you wondering or even questioning what your true purpose in life or work is? Do you feel confident that you are living your extraordinary purpose? Clients often seek coaching or therapy to come to an understanding and explore what their true purpose is, and we begin with identifying what is most important to them right now, and as they continue to pursue personal and professional growth. I believe that when you seek to learn, seek to understand and seek growth, your purpose will be more clear to you.

There’s only one of you and that grants upon you an important responsibility. You’re the only person who can truly express the unique perspective that you’re so fortunate to experience. Don’t rely on social media or the success of your business, or even the success of those around you to dictate your uniqueness. We can also stumble, fall, fail and it takes time to pick ourselves up again.

Being extraordinary doesn’t necessarily mean being impressive, or being obsessive, or being anything other than how you sincerely wish to be. Being extraordinary means being great at being you.

One of the ways to live an extraordinary life is to achieve extraordinary love. It doesn’t need to be the ‘endless love’ we create fairytales about. Extraordinary love could be the love you have for your child, parent, or friend. In order to live an extraordinary life, we must allow ourselves to fill our hearts with extraordinary love!

I don’t believe that there is such thing as an ordinary life. We are all extraordinary because we are an amazing miracle, just as we are! But, you have to follow your heart in order to truly live that which is extraordinary in you! How extraordinary is it to blame others when things don’t turn out the way you’d hoped? How will you become the extraordinary success that you want to be if you don’t step out with courage and follow a consistent path.

In order to achieve an extraordinary life, we’ve got to have faith. Now, some may say that faith can take many forms, while other believe that only faith in God is what is necessary. Whichever you choose, faith is a complete trust in someone or something that brings confidence. When we have faith in ourselves to go after what we truly desire and take the steps toward achieving it, that is extraordinary faith.

A path to living your extraordinary life is to forgive. Forgive others who have harmed you in some way, and also forgive yourself for mistakes and bad choices that you have made in the past. When you take that step, to allow forgiveness to enter your heart, miracles begin to happen. And, aren’t miracles extraordinary?

What are the odds of someone being exactly like you? Scientists estimate that the probability of you being born, exactly as you are with your DNA, personality, intellect, skills, interests and such is about one in 400 trillion. Think about that for a moment. One in 400 trillion!

Have you ever felt victimized by a situation or a person and felt that they really need to change? I remember raising my kids and experienscing a flashback to when I was a young girl, fighting with my sibling. “Mom! So-and-so always does … don’t you think he needs to change?”  We always want somebody to change.

As Rose Marie Whiteside, wrote in her book, As For Me And My House, "You will make mistakes, change your mind later on the wisdom of a decision, and hope to find better ways of doing something, but if you outline your values and determine the links to those values, the errors won't count."
