Extra-Ordinary!
Had a great time today speaking to the Clovis High Plains Rotary Club. If you don’t know much about Rotary International I strongly suggest you check them out: www.rotary.org. They have a ton of good stuff happening and are doing what they can to make the world a much better place.
Today I spoke about identity. More importantly about being a person that does EXTRA-ordinary things. Anyone can do everyday, ordinary stuff but what am I doing that is a little bit EXTRA to make a difference? Driving to work is ordinary. Driving to work fifteen minutes early so I can stop and help someone is EXTRA. Ordering and paying for my meal is ordinary. Ordering and paying for my meal AND the family behind me in line is EXTRA. Signing a check and mailing it to Haiti is ordinary. Taking a week off of work and GOING to Haiti to help is EXTRA. What are you doing that is EXTRA-ordinary? It’s kind of funny because donig these EXTRA things really doesn’t take any more time or energy than doing ordinary things….and man is the reward amazing!
I’m lifting my glass to EXTRA-ordinary……….hopefully you will too!
Cheers,
Mitch
