Are Your Dispensable or Irreplaceable?



Are Your Dispensable or Irreplaceable?

At some point in our lives, we must make the purposeful decision to let go of who we use to be in order to become the person we were destined to be.

Sometimes destiny can’t wait on us to choose because if it did, we would never make a choice at all. For others, it’s not until we are pushed out, locked out or worst thrown out by life that we finally get the message to wake up. Wake to the fact that this is the age of extinction. The era of average is over and only the exceptional, only those who are hungry, those who refuse to accept no for answer and those who are relentless about their dream, will advance to the place of greatness.

Do yourself a favor and wasting time crying over who moved your cheese, took it or ate it altogether. While the how or what that happened to you might be painful, it is irrelevant---Shift happens to everybody. Deal with it!  The sooner you accept this fact, the better off you will be. Redirect all of that roar energy towards strategizing your next move e.g. creating a new cheese, maybe cream-cheese, blue-cheese or something completely cutting edge. The goal here is to recognize that yesterday is over, gone, finito. Looking back in the rearview mirror will only hinder you from gaining new ground and embarking on a greater purpose.

You see greatness is not automatic, nor is it inherited. Greatness is deliberate and intentional - - all day, everyday.  It is a daily choice to be exceptional, a daily decision to defy the odds, to go beyond what is ordinary and a commitment to give more value, more excellence than is required.

Average is dispensable but Exceptional is Irreplaceable.
