I’m watching the Olympics as I write this post. I love the Olympics. I love them because all of the athletes who attends have something in common, regardless of the sport they participate in. They are extraordinary.

I love extraordinary people.

It’s funny, there are so many people out there competing for average. Some people are satisfied with being good. Others are happy to just get their name in the paper. Some strive to be the best in their nation, or wave the banner of their flag in front of the world. But few, a very select few, strive to be the best. Extraordinary.

It’s hard, yes. But what’s interesting is the incredibly small percentage of people who even consider extraordinary.  Aiming for extraordinary doesn’t even cross their minds.

The competition for mediocrity is fierce. All but a select few are competitors. Extraordinary, however, requires dedication and effort, but more often than not, the biggest competition is yourself.

Who are you competing against?
