ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY

 



“I do not believe that God put us here to be ordinary.”

                                        Lou Holtz

Ordinary. Such an ordinary word. If you add extra to it, does it make

it that much better? Extraordinary. What exactly does it mean to be

extraordinary or ordinary? We do not always have to be “extraordinary.”

Sometimes ordinary is simply fine if it means doing the right thing,

or avoiding doing negative, counter-productive things. Comparisons

again are not always on a meaningful scale. Ordinary according to

whom? Do your best. Do what is right. Look at yourself in the mirror

and know you can be proud. It may be quite middle of the pack, but

did you help someone else? Did you contribute in any way to making

our world a better place? What may be an ordinary act of kindness

to you may make an enormous difference in somebody else’s life.

What may be an ordinary piece of work for you may be instrumental

or monumental in somebody else’s life. It is ok to just be ordinary. Just

do our best. Be the best version of ourselves in the moment. Ordinary

by whose standards? We are quite good enough. Be who we are and

there is no need to judge ourselves. There is no need to compare

ourselves to others. (They are probably fake anyway) Comparison

is the thief of joy. Never compare yourself to anyone on Instagram!
