It has become increasingly clear to me that comes an extraordinary life of massive financial wealth, climbing the career ladder, offbeat titles, or 15 minutes of Fame. The other place you never find that an extraordinary life is at the approval of others, especially when the do you think what everyone expects you.
If you want to live an extraordinary life, you need to recognize and appreciate the extraordinary things that are already part of your life. Something extraordinary or remarkable in your life is "., because they say it is It's so easy.
I left a little more than a week to beautiful Italy and have to stay with my sister, brother-in-law and niece and nephew in Doha, Qatar and were overwhelmed by the extraordinary things I the great fortune had experience like:
- Sand-boarding in the desert with my nephew
- Giggle with my niece in a sophisticated relaxation room for massages
- A salad and a conversation with my brother-in-law on his lunch break to enjoy
- Hiking around the Souk and spends lots of time with my sister
- The desert dunes go cry laugh
- Swimming in the Persian Gulf, with Saudi Arabia at a glance
- A sea turtle rescue
I enjoyed the extraordinary in the ordinary
- Admire the landscapes
- A walk and run in the rain
- Eye contact with the clinking of glasses
- Sitting on the beach
- Exchanging a look or a smile
- Make sure. If you are distracted, it is impossible to notice the extraordinary things about you and how you felt your life. You, look up separation and exist.
- Be thankful. To express gratitude, helps you focus on the wonderful events of your daily life. It feels good to say thank you and it is always a good reminder, your life is as exceptional.
- Stop compare. Anyone have more or less than you. It will be who always someone better or worse is what you do. They can not decide who you are or what you have on another basis and if your focus is on what you have or do, you can never fully appreciate all the extraordinary blessings in your own life. Even your past and future can measure not sticks for your life today. Keep your eyes on your own paper.
- Letting go. Each time, if I think something has an influence on me, I realize, I'm the one with the tight in the handle. Have no fear of space and the absence of all the things you think you need secure and happy. Absence makes the heart grow.
- Space. Clear the clutter and excess. You need make sure and space to what matters most.
- Slow down. The extraordinary life, that which you have been waiting for happened now. While you expect to finish race, plans to keep pace and always by your extraordinary life, patiently welcome. Reduce your pace and look around or come to a halt, fully appreciate what's directly in front of you.
- Small wonders to admire. Extraordinary is not always in the big gestures and big impressive changes or events. Revel piece of fruit, a beautiful view in the little things like the first bite of a tire, a foreign child smile or some other things that happen every day. Enjoy the small pleasures and find love in the little things to.
- Write it down. Keep a diary to record some extraordinary things in your daily life. To know that you will record your observations, is a reminder to notice and the more you notice it, the more you will notice it.
- Behave like a tourist. She could become accustomed to your environment and daily events and forget the exceptional parts. Be a tourist in your own life and garden, and things for the first time. It is important to remember how this view, wow, or like the kind and way you treated someone used the heart is racing to make. Recapture awe of change your lens.
- Exceptional. The best way to an extraordinary life to life is to be extraordinary. His extraordinary you people treat, including yourself. His extraordinary as you want to spend your time. His exceptional by your thoughts, words and deeds.
All the extraordinary moments I experience during the trip are remind me of that extraordinary everyday life. You don't have to go to find home. Exceptional is everywhere.
