Being Extraordinary

Being extraordinary
It’s not a matter
Of fine tuning
Who you already are,
It’s not about
Emulating anyone else,
No matter how great
They might have been.
It’s not about managing
Yourself more rigorously,
Or even working harder
Than everyone else.
It’s all about
Finding something
Worth being committed to
Bigger than yourself,
Then dedicating your life
To that purpose.
It’s about
Seeing something
That needs to be done
And doing it.
It’s about being
True to yourself
And your convictions
In spite of
The circumstances of life.
It’s about
Distinguishing yourself
From others
By your determination
To make a difference.
