“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” ~Sir Cecil Beaton
Are you daring? Different? Impractical? What sets you apart from everybody else? Really? Do you have an imaginative vision of what is ahead for you or are you just trucking on down the road, without a thought of what's ahead?
A slave to the ordinary...is that you? Are you a creature of the commonplace? It's real easy to get into a rut of the ordinary. You know what the definition of a rut is? It is a coffin with the ends kicked out, that's what a rut is. Think about that as you go about your day, the same way, day after day after day.
Wilfred Peterson said "Big Thinking precedes great achievement." You will never make a difference being ordinary or thinking ordinary. You won't be known for being a creature of the commonplace if you think BIG!
How can you step out of the ordinary, out of the commonplace? It's different for each individual and you need to seek it out for yourself. I challenge you as this new year is getting started to step out of the ordinary, to be different, to be daring. I challenge you to stop being a "play-it-safer" kind of person. Become a BIG thinker.

"If you are not GETTING what you want out of life, maybe you're not GIVING enough to it."
What do you think? Are you giving enough to get what you want out of life? What are you willing to pay to get what you want? Money, time, extra effort? Before you can get what you want, you need to determine what you are willing to pay to get it. Some people decide that they don't want to pay the price to get what they want and they settle for what they can get. I hope that's not you!
Think about your business. Are you giving it enough to get what you want? Or are you only giving enough to make ends meet, keep the boss happy, pay the bills? Think about it. Maybe you aren't giving it what you need to give it to be really successful. Here's the thing about this. You don't have to answer the question...your results have already answered the question for you! You will have results or you will have excuses.
If you don't make a change, nothing will change for you. You just can't wish a change to happen, you have to take action steps to MAKE it happen. Are you ready to make a change or are you happy with the results that you are getting now?
Ralph Waldo Emerson said "The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common." Take a look at what you are giving. See the miraculous, and if you don't see the miraculous, look again until you see it. And if you don't see it then, maybe you aren't giving it enough...
