Are You An Extraordinary Thinker?

12 THINGS THAT SEPARATE EXTRAORDINARY THINKERS FROM ORDINARY THINKERS

Do you see yourself as average, ordinary, middle-of-the-pack? A lot of people see themselves that way and are perfectly content with it. Just always know that it is a belief, not a fact. You can shift from ordinary to extraordinary any time you choose.

You are extraordinary. It’s right there beneath that ordinary facade. I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. You sense that there is something extraordinary within you and you are ready to unleash it in your life and, yet, you don’t.

A big part of it is shifting your paradigms from those that support ordinariness to those that promote the extraordinary in you.

Here are 16 paradigm-shifting distinctions between ordinary mindsets and extraordinary ones. Keep these posted somewhere that you can see them during your day. When you catch yourself thinking ordinary, you can instantly change to extraordinary.

1) Ordinary thinkers are fear-driven. Extraordinary thinkers are love-driven.
2) Ordinary thinkers believe they are victims of fate. Extraordinary thinkers know they are choosers of destiny.
3) Ordinary thinkers approve the status quo. Extraordinary thinkers improve the status quo.
4) Ordinary thinkers strive to be cool. Extraordinary thinkers strive to be themselves.
5) Ordinary thinkers are tenant farmers in the paradigms provided by others. Extraordinary thinkers are constantly planting new and exciting paradigms in their lives and in the world.
6) Ordinary thinkers trust experts. Extraordinary thinkers listen to experts, but trust themselves.
7) Faced with adversity, ordinary thinkers give up. Faced with adversity, extraordinary thinkers give more.

8. Ordinary thinkers expect little and receive it. Extraordinary thinkers expect much and receive it.
9) Ordinary thinkers employ labels. Extraordinary thinkers seek understanding.
10) Ordinary thinkers believe in chances. Extraordinary thinkers believe in choices.

Earth Day Affirmations

Earth Day Affirmations

Whatever your spiritual perspective, there is no denying that the Earth physically sustains us all every day. To me, that is worth celebrating and respecting.

It’s a wonderful thing that we now set aside a day to honor the amazing miracle that is our Planet. It is also a beacon to recall what miracles we all are.

To set the Earth and her people against each other, seems equally foolish to wasting the planet’s resources. We must find ways to balance our needs for commerce and advancement with the realistic resources provided by our planet.

The extremes on both ends fail to grasp the combined value that is the Earth and Humanity. Today may we find a renewed respect and hope for both!

Here are a few Earth Day affirmations for you. Be the person you came to the planet to be today.

  1. Earth Affirmation: “Today I celebrate both the diversity and the connectedness present here on Planet Earth.”
  2. Earth Affirmation: “Today I care for the Earth by recognizing its miraculous nature and mine!”
  3. Earth Affirmation: “Today I care for the Earth by remembering how small and connected we all are!”
  4. Earth Affirmation: “Today I care for the Earth by taking care of the other creatures that share it with me.”
  5. Earth Affirmation: “Today I care for the Earth by caring for my fellow human beings and expanding compassion on our planet.”
  6. Earth Affirmation: “Today I bless and care for the Earth by using only what I need.”
  7. Earth Affirmation: “Today and every day I bless and care the Earth, as she blesses and cares for me.”
  8. Earth Affirmation: “I believe in a protected Earth and a free Humanity. I refuse to sacrifice either! My life is a catalyst for both!”
  9. Earth Affirmation:”I am one with the ocean. The ebb and flow of the sea merges with my breath to create a profound calm”
  10. Earth Affirmation: “I am one with the forest. Being among the trees, I am completely grounded as I reach for the sky along with them.”
  11. Earth Affirmation: “I am in touch with nature. Every day I feel my feet touch the Earth. I feel the wind fill my lungs. I feel the water bring life to every cell of my being. I feel the warm sunshine on my face. I am in touch with nature.”

I tweet from momentary inspiration a lot. Over the years, it’s allowed me to coin many quotes.

The latest pulls on a quote that reminds us how precious this moment and the next moment and the one after that are.

Our lives are made of moments. Never waste one.

If this design resonates with you, consider ordering it in your favorite form and sharing with the people you encounter. Every little bit raises the vibration.

Your order automatically enters you into our monthly drawing to WIN a custom-designed t-shirt.

Better and Better Days Ahead

Each of us, all of us must believe that better days are ahead for humanity. To believe even a little, and especially a lot, that our thoughts create our world; we must take ownership in the world we are participating in creating.

If we contribute our thinking and energy to creating chaos and dystopia, then that is what we shall have. If, instead, we put our focus and encourage others to put their focus on humanity’s highest potential coming true, that is what we will create.

Not one of us is or can afford to be a by-stander in raising our thinking and raising our eyes and creating the world we want for ourselves, our children, our grandchildren, and generations to come.

Oh, and just in case no one else reminded you today, you are awesome!
