Ordinary or extraordinary the choice is yours
ordinary or extraordinary
i grew up my whole entire life looking
at musicians
artists all the leaders all the great
speakers in the world thinking that they
were completely and totally
extraordinary
what made them so extraordinary why did
i think they’re extraordinary
because i was ordinary i was just an
ordinary girl
i grew up in an ordinary family i went
to an ordinary school
i had ordinary parents but absolutely
amazing parents
and my whole life i kept thinking i
want to achieve this i want to be that i
want the
but it took me to the age of 42 to have
the realization that there is no
difference
absolutely no difference between me and
anyone else
every single person that’s born in this
this world everyone lives in this planet
we are all extraordinary but it took a
lot of work for me to kind of figure
this out
i took a lot of self-belief something
that i did not have growing up i was the
most awkward
shy teenager i would have been burning
if anyone spoke to me i would have been
completely and totally burning on the
inside
i would have been shaken someone asked
me a question
oh i felt the worst feeling in the world
but i was always embarrassed always shy
always sitting in the corner never
wanting to kind of step out
never wanted never ever wanted to get up
onto a stage to speak
always always thought that wasn’t for me
that’s
not me i’m not extraordinary why would
anybody want to hear me speak
so i had it then learned myself i had a
teach myself step by step
how to believe in myself how do you how
to put myself out there not to
stress not to worry not to be afraid of
anything
so the years i spent when i was younger
live in my life i i thought every single
person wanted media love
i would have done things to please
everyone else
i would have went out of my way i would
have like let
myself down and i would have let maybe
my family down
to please someone else that meant
absolutely nothing
so from this day onwards i made a
decision
i easily about in my mid to early
20s i made a decision that i wanted to
be extraordinary
i wanted to stand up here i wanted to be
able to express and talk
quite effectively to everybody and pass
on
what i know and what i want everyone to
know that
if i can stand and i can feel like this
if i can be extraordinary you can be
extraordinary
so instead of living the life that i
thought thought other people wanted me
to love
i started living the life that i wanted
i started looking within instead of
looking without
i continuously looked without i looked
for everyone else to make me happy
and then i had to stop take a breath and
look with them
and if i can make myself happy once i am
happy everything outside of me then
everything everyone attached to me is
happy
because if i’m not happy it just doesn’t
work
so instead of searching for approval
from other people
instead of worrying about other people’s
opinions instead of
thinking all these crazy thoughts you
had a whole
i had a whole story built up in my head
about this person thinks this is going
to think that they’re going to
continue a huge cycle went round and
round and round
so i stopped it and i stopped it then
instead of being told all about the laws
and regulations when we were growing up
we were taught you have to do this you
have to go to school
you have to learn this lesson you have
to wear this uniform
and then in religion we were told we had
he said this prayer that prayer
and even when we got older you went on
social media
the laws and regulations then you were
recommended to follow this page
or you recommend that you like this page
that’s not the laws that i follow
believe me yes you need guidance you
need to you need to follow law of course
but there’s universal laws in life
and these universal laws is the laws
that i follow
they don’t take into consideration creed
color
nationality they don’t take engender
race
that doesn’t matter because we’re all
completely and totally
equal and exactly the same we are all
extraordinary there’s not one person as
ordinary
and once we start to believe this once
we start to realize that we are not put
into different categories
we are not different even age groups
even
gender everything there’s no difference
it doesn’t matter
so for me to be it’s unique
extraordinary and we’re all spiritual
beings
and this is all down to universal laws
being ordinary is absolutely great that
is great
but been extraordinary that’s life
changing
it has my life completely turned upside
down
inside out and that’s whenever i had the
realization that i am extraordinary
it’s not nothing to do with monetary
wealth material things
it’s got nothing to do with that at all
it’s got to do with belief
and the faith and you’re giving out the
most kind
as long as you think good and you bring
it back to you again
so for me the faith and inner belief
and something greater out there is
something greater out there than
every one of us and it’s all within our
reach
it’s all there and the knowledge
that you can be the best version of you
there’s only a few simple steps
it’s simple steps of being that we tiny
but grateful
starting off with small things and
gratitude changed
changes everything like when did you
ever think that
you turned on the top of water are you
grateful for that water coming out of it
because i honestly got i wasn’t at the
time i didn’t i didn’t think anything of
it at all
but i started being grateful for all
those small tiny things
tiny things to me but massive things to
other people
so i wake in the morning and every
morning and i’d be grateful
that i’ve opened my eyes that i have
opened my eyes to live another day
and this wonderful world
i want to be here to help as many people
as i possibly can
to show people that there is more to
life
and stop sweating the small stuff
every morning i would wake up i’m going
right there it is just
the most fantastic day whether it’s
raining healing snowing
it doesn’t matter it’s just great to
open your eyes and love another day
and you see that there is there is an
easier way to life
this is such an easier way to life
so once you stop sweating small stuff
and i can guarantee
see the small thing or the massive large
thing that you think that you’re
worrying about
that’s something small to someone else
and somewhat something really really
small and you give it a few
even years i want something i’m through
something a couple of years ago and was
huge
at the time it almost ended me being
here
because i thought it was so huge and now
i can look back and i can say it was
tiny it was so small
but that’s all down to the law of
relativity and that is one of the
universal laws i live my life
by and that would be it is not big and
it’s not small
it is just it is just that that is
that’s it it’s not big not small it’s
big in comparison to something else
smaller or small in compartment to
something else bigger
and that’s the way we have to look at it
so
it’s not big not small and it just does
and then leave it at that that’s all you
have to do
so i have a choice every morning i get
up in the morning i have a choice
whether i want to come out
whether i want to be on a good day or a
bad day
i have a choice for whether i want to
worry about this or worry about that
or not think about it at all i had that
choice when i wake up in the morning
now you get up in the morning you can
have the whole ability to say that you
want to have the best day
and then and knock on effect it’s as if
the universe is trying to stop you
having a good day
your alarm might not turn on in the
morning
or my favorite your six-year-old might
not want to put on her tights towards
school
she doesn’t like them or you quite get
into the car
and the car doesn’t start so you have
all this here you have all these
different things that could be knocking
on
but it’s not about those things
happening it’s about how you
as a person deals with that
well you react to that or you respond to
that responding
takes time to stop and think
and you go okay why does she not want to
put on those tights
how is she feeling what’s happened in
this car
stop take a deep breath this is maybe
stop me for something else happening
down the line
whereas you react you just go straight
in react boom
and the whole thing explodes for me
the old me i would have reacted every
single time
i would have threw the hissy fit the
whole house would have been all over the
show
no matter what happened i reacted nine
times out of ten
and that’s no good that is just it was
no good for me it was no good for how
i felt and then once i learned then to
change all that
it completely transformed for me to
respond
as i say it takes time to think because
no matter what it is
you respond i would have blamed
everybody
everybody because it was never ever ever
my fault
and then whenever you take
responsibility for yourself
and it’s not anybody else’s fault
whenever you take responsibility
everything starts to flow and it flows
so
smoothly and so well and then things
just seem to happen
the way you wanted to so for me i had to
stop blaming other people
worrying about other people’s opinions
because other people’s opinions they
are the most
yeah they are the most damaging thing
that you can let onto yourself yourself
but that person’s probably not even
thinking along the lines what you’re
thinking
as i say you had the whole thing i had
the whole
movie played out in my head but
above all i always remember that no
matter what
you pronounce that the world it doesn’t
matter what it is no matter what it is
whether thoughts
words feelings actions that’s going to
come back around at you again
and i’ll tell you i want to come back in
the best possible way
i don’t want to have to be sitting
worrying thinking something negatively
and then waiting right when’s it going
to come back when it’s going to come
back i might can come back straight away
but it’ll come back and that’s all down
to the law of thinking
and that’s another of the universal laws
i love my life by
so what you think what you how you act
every action that you take
make sure it’s a good one
because once your heart is right and if
your heart is right
your head is sure to follow yeah it has
to follow
so i know in my head and my thoughts and
my thinking
i try every day and do the best that i
possibly can
for everybody involved and
all i can do and say
is stop sweating small stuff
take every single day at a time
and are we going to now just stay and
live this ordinary life
or take that huge leap in that step and
love
the life the extraordinary life that
every single person
deserves
