5 Steps to Extraordinary Life

<ol><li>Gratitude expressed in thought or word is a whisper into the universe that has an effect beyond whatever you can realize today. </li><li>Continue to be grateful for what you have and what you attract into your life. </li><li>The depth of your appreciation and its demonstration contribute to the fabric of your life and the communities in which you live. </li></ol>

Depth of Gratitude

<ol><li>Emerging into my adult years, I struggled with knowing my life purpose. </li><li>And I was reminded by a mentor “your purpose is the purpose you gift yourself”. </li><li>I had thought a beam of light would knock on my door some night and bequeath me with my life purpose. </li><li>Instead I looked inside and checked with what made me joyful. </li></ol>

What is Your Life Purpose?

<ol><li>Whenever I read the word ‘vision’ in association with my life, I immediately think about living from my future intentions. </li><li>To live from vision is a way to focus my awareness (attention, and intention) on my path of shared living, leveraging, and leading with measures of laughing and loveraging added.  </li><li>The more definitive I am in my vision, the more I align with the law of reciprocity. </li><li>Life is proportional to action. </li><li>And action follows your decision. </li><li>Therefore, you decide what you get. </li><li>And to know what you have, look at the decisions you have made. </li><li>Today is a residual effect of your decisions yesterday! </li></ol>I am reminded:<ul><li>Creating a Vision encourages you to take a stand for a preferred future</li><li>Creating a Vision highlights how you lead when you interact with others </li></ul>

Definitiveness of Vision

<ul><li>channels your deepest values into your life and is a word picture of how values are lived out</li><li>inspires and engages your hands, head and heart </li><li>highlights what you are living/ leading/ working from – it brings to light your upcoming learning</li><li>provides direction and a preferred future that organizes energy and aligns it in an action-directed manner </li><li>is so clear that it is a virtual reality experienced in terms of all the senses - about sensing, believing and behaving the future NOW </li></ul>

Vision...

<ol><li>Scan some magazines and cut out nine pictures that connect with you. </li><li>Identify six words that have great meaning for you. </li><li>Write down three phrases that resonate with you (or cut ad headlines from the magazines). </li><li>With your 9-6-3 ideas … keep moving them around until ‘something’ jumps off the table. </li><li>Be open to surprise – and it may not happen at once. You can keep adding, deleting and/or altering the 9-6-3 ideas you have collected. </li><li>Stay with the process – your vision will unfold! </li></ol>When you live from your vision you lead … it is a precious gift to the world.

What is Your Vision? 

<ol><li>Look at what you do, what you say, what you dream, what you enjoy doing – in it are clues to your life purpose. </li><li>In living your life purpose, your ability to lead grows because you understand how to speak your ‘yes and no’ responses to decisions. </li></ol>

Do you know your life purpose? 

Take an early morning, reflective afternoon or a quiet evening and consider your faith<ul><li>What is your faith in you? </li><li>What is your faith in your family and close friends? </li><li>What is your faith in work? </li></ul>Simply ask about your faith in different (yet connected) elements for living your extraordinary life. And be open to surprise especially recognizing with faith comes heartfelt leadership, leading, and being a leader.

What is your faith in...

<ol><li>Faith is your belief in yourself. </li><li>Faith means ‘nothing or no-thing is missing’ in your life! Just as the sun will rise in the morning, you will experience your life. </li><li>Holding steady to your faith involves loving yourself in concert with your Creator. </li><li>Faith is a travelling companion in living your extraordinary life. It travels better than its opposite - doubt. </li><li>When you are in faith you are living out of confidence. </li></ol>

Steadiness of Faith

<ol><li>Gratitude can be in a gesture of thanks so simple that its quietness reverberates around the workplace. </li><li>It can be in the hand you extend.</li><li>Gratitude is at the core of your personal life decisions. You decide what you get. Whether before or after the decision, be grateful.</li><li>Gratitude can be written into journals. </li><li>It can be thought about in the evening before going to sleep and in the morning before your feet touch the floor. </li></ol>

Gratitude is... 

<ol><li>In moving from learning to knowing, and more importantly into knowable action, I am experiencing my fixity of purpose, definitiveness of vision, steadiness of faith, and depth of gratitude. </li><li>I decided to lead. To co-create the well-living world, co-create well-living workplaces, and live my extraordinary life. </li><li>As you step into your "yes" … let’s hook up in spaces and places where we nurture our connections even more. </li><li>What the world needs is purposeful, visionary and grateful leaders. </li></ol>
