I Want To Be Extraordinary !!
Photo by Amilliss
Our eyes, mind and heart always want to see everything as beautiful as we see in our dream. But why reality is not always like we wanted? You certainly have dreams, hopes, wishes or desires. The question is, has any of it came true? Or how much have you tried to realize it?
This article will challenge you to design a better future. But before you continue reading, prepare a pencil and a book to note important things. Also, prepare your mind, heart, sincerity and honesty to accept these theorem below :
- An honest self acknowledgment is the key to your success
- Courage will deliver you to the right path
- A willing to learn behavior is an enlightening friend in your journey
- Modesty is the weapon to get through all boundaries
After you have understood all the theorem above, lets sail into your self to understand it, find your dream and achieve it.
Dreams
An honest self recognition is a wise attitude before you want to be extraordinary. That way, you will find your strength and weakness. “Me and my dreams” is the deepest form of need inside of everyone. To recognize yourself you have to reset what your desires exactly are. What I want to be in the next 3, 5, 10 years ahead? Extraordinary people always search for environments that are able to support themselves to become what they dream. If they have not found it, they don’t give up! Instead, they create their own environment. Please introspect yourself, are your dreams in accordance and have the appropriate environment. If not, you have to dare yourself to get out from the path you are on. Take courage to change your way! Then, decided your desire and hold on to it. Recognize yourself with your dreams.
Self image
How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as a weak, low, apathy, selfish, sucks, shy, afraid to fail person or any other negative act and attitude? A good self image is an absolute precondition to become an extraordinary man. If all this time you are pessimistic to yourself, then it is time to change yourself to be optimistic, highly appreciated, ambitious, and dare to take on challenges and risks. Each person has the right to be successful. Each person has the right to decide his desire as high as possible, has the right to get his desire. As long as you feel unworthy, incapable, it means you insult yourself too much. You have stepped on your self image. That is why you have to fix the way you see yourself. Fix your self image.
Self esteem
Self esteem is your feelings or how much you love yourself. Have you ever imagine yourself as a famous movie star, adored and appreciated by many people? Don’t you feel so extraordinary in your heart and feelings? Doesn’t it affect your feelings? Doesn’t it then you come to love yourself more? That is a self esteem. To love, proud, and care to yourself is an important essence to be extraordinary. It is impossible for others to appreciate you if you never appreciate yourself either. If you give yourself a perfect score, 10, then others will also give 10, even more! On the contrary, if you don’t appreciate yourself, so cheaply appreciate yourself, others will do the same to you. So, appreciate yourself as much as possible.
Challenge yourself
It is impossible for you to be always motivated all the time. There are times when life seems so difficult, that you lost your motivation. But on the contrary, if you are feeling happy you will get that motivation back. Motivation will emerge according to your life value, desire, necessity and ambition. Motivation also comes if we are going to travel, our life is in threat or when we are facing a risk. So, when you lost your motivation, it is time to challenge yourself. Create again that lost motivation. How? Do these things : Stay enthusiastic, fill yourself with anxiousness, read books, listen to motivation cassette, contemplate your dreams, imagine when your dream are fulfilled, realize that you are in the process of change, and stop hoping that life will be easier. Challenging yourself means you dare to acknowledge every strength and weakness. You have to be ready to change them into power and strength. Dare to challenge yourself means you have entered the world of the highest commitment in the process to achieve your own victory.
Take a step forward
After you are certain with the path you chose, it is time to take a step forward. Preparation is absolutely needed in your journey to become an extraordinary man. Things that you have to do are : change frustration into action. It is time for you to leave your concepts, methods, work strategies and old habits. Change to new ones. It is time to rise, wake up and realize that you can be extraordinary if you are willing to pay the price. What do you have to do? Make a list of the best attitude and throw the bad ones. Keep your spirit and passion, keep learning to develop your potency, personality, challenges, always speak positively, make a better achievement, always in contact with everyone, always motivate yourself all the time, and understand the law of harvest. If you want durian, don’t plant a corn seed.
Become Extraordinary
After recognizing yourself, dare to challenge yourself, start to move forward into improvement, progress, positive self-development, then get ready to accept your birth as an extraordinary man. Think first before act is the way of extraordinary men. Your vehicle is a facility you use to go to your desired future. Your vehicle is your spirit.
Willingness
In the end, willingness and choices will decide whether you want to be extraordinary man or just ordinary. No matter who you are, where you came from, if you are willing and if you choose to become an extraordinary man, you can. But if you don’t want to, your life will never change. If you don’t make a choice, don’t blame your circumstances. You are the one who decide where your destination is, with who, what to bring, how much supplies, when to leave, which way to travel, everything depends on your own choice and decision. Becoming extraordinary is just one of so many choices you can make in your life. You can if you want it.

This is a great post, I like this one a lot

Thank you,

Imperfect Action is better than No Action
Hi Arswino - The title of this post really caught my attention. I think we all desire to be extraordinary, but aren’t quite sure how to get there. I really liked your first theorem about honest self acknowledgement. Star with yourself first
I think it’s okay to not be motivated all the time. Sometimes I need to remove my motivation hat and just play in the sun.
Indeed, I want to be extraordinary!
Or rather, I AM Extraordinary 
feels good reading your post, Ino.
Good post.
Hi Giovanna, you’re welcome. I have supposed that “take a step forward” is your favorite because you are a strong believer in action.
Thank you for the comment as well.
Hi Amanda, yes you’re right. It is like love, we can’t love others till we can love ourselves. Thanks for your comment.
Hi Stacey, I am also agree with your thought. Create a balance, doesn’t it?
Thanks for leaving a comment Stacey.
Hi Jocelyn, I AM extraordinary …. sounds great, Jocelyn. Thank you. By the way, you called me with my nickname. I love that.
Hi Kevin, welcome and thanks for stopping by.
I totally agree with this article! In order to expand and add another perspective for more value, I would like to contributing my perspective of these seven things (although I will shorten it up by putting some together on one)
Dreams - It doesn’t matter what your dreams are or how big you think they might be. The point is, you have dreams and must fulfill them. There is a reason for your dreams. A dream is like hunger, why would you have a hunger that you could not fulfill?
Self-Image - If you have ever defined your Self as ’spiritual’ then you had to live life through that label and if something rises that does not fit into that image then you would have to deny it, reject it, defend it or suppress it on one way or another. Let us say that the feelings of anger and thoughts of anger came through you. If you labeled yourself ’spiritual’ then you might express thoughts similar to, “I should not be feeling this anger. I am spiritual, and anger should not be a part of me anymore”. You do not allow certain things to flow through you since you have a label. Therefore, don’t limit yourself by the image of yourself you hold. Who you really are is a being of potential. Everything else is a conditioned state. The conditioned states is not who you actually are, that is why you are liberated to allow them. You find libertarian of self-image because that is the mind and trying to live according to an image in your mind.
Self-Esteem - Confidence has more to do with body language then anything. When your body is in the proper position, it builds the creation of confidence: head up, shoulders lifted, straighten back, walking with intent/ purpose, and relaxing (to move with ease). When you communicate; speak deliberately, with a affirmative, assertive, and ‘insertive’ tone (’insert yourself’ into confidence). The reason this works is because Being is a state, Doing is an act based on the state (mind-set) you are in. Positive people are positive and do positive things based on how they are being (not the other way around). You must be in a state of confidence and because you are being that, you do confident things. Confident people are not confident because they do confident things, they are confident because of how they allow themselves to feel. Feeling confident is about being in the state of confidence. Feeling is about emotion. Your emotional states are about your body state.
Challenge (Take a Step Forward) - Working hard in challenging yourself to grow is highly expanding. Growth will happen automatically (based on a series of events, hence a shy child slowly learns how to not be shy), yet when you challenge yourself then you rapidly increase your growth and hence increase your consciousness. Challenge everything: your fears, your beliefs, your negative experiences, self love, creativity, etc…
Be Extraordinary (Willingness) - In your extraordinary, you might come across a point where you are not feeling so extraordinary anymore. Just remember, you as an individual and you do serve a higher-purpose.
I used to get disappointed to know that there are not original ideas. It took me the longest time to get over it completely because it made me feel like I was not extraordinary.
When I was reading content from someone else’s website and I saw the same ideas, I thought: “Dang it, I thought I was the only one using that idea!” …. This has happened to me a lot and I would be disappointed a lot.
But one time after I thought that, I realized that the thought I was having was much like saying: “Hey you are spreading the message of love too, I thought I was the only original one!”
When I thought of it that way instead, I realize how silly I was being. There was a big release in that because now I don’t have to hover over my ideas, I freely let everyone use my ideas as if they were their own. I feel extraordinary just spreading the message of love, that massage does not have to be unique, as long as I am spreading it.
Thank you for allowing me to take over your comment area
Keep up the delightful work!

Hi Arswino,
I am motivated and uplifted after reading here! Your words, very much, evoke a sense of everything being possible!
Hi Arswino,
this is so timely for me, accepting that I am extraordinary and being willing to take the action is where i am at today, thanks for the inspiration
Great article here Arswino. I too like how you ended it with willingness and choice. I think those continual choices it takes to make that step forward bring on the extraordinary.
And Nicholas, wow, great thoughts here as well. The point of finding others with the same ideas killing thoughts of being extraordinary are quite intriguing. I have always found that it’s often driving someone else’s idea further and making it bigger that makes me feel extraordinary, or vise versa when someone else drives my idea.
great post..keep up the great work. I would also note that the self image belongs to the ego, and the ego is just a false sense of self. To truly understand your purpose you will need to transcend your ego.

Hi Ivan, thanks for stopping by and the comment as well. I love the quote
Arswino — I really liked this post. I loved when you said, “As long as you feel unworthy, incapable, it means you insult yourself too much. You have stepped on your self image.” Stepping on your self image is such a great visual phrase! Thank your for sharing this with us :~)
Hi Sara, you’re welcome and thank you for the comment.
I have a problem with choosing the right environment. I’m ambitious and goal orientated but once in a while I stray to places or people who don’t beneift me.
