the thoughts you thin, the food you eat and the actions you take are defining your destiny – shaping who
you are becoming and what your life will stand for. Small choices lead to giant consequences – over time.
There’s no such thing as an unimportant day.
As you live your days, so you craft your life.
Each one of us is called to greatness. Each one of us has an exquisite power within us. Each one
of us can have a significant impact on the world around us – if we so choose. But for this power that resides
internally to grow, we need to use it. And the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. The more this power
gets tapped, the more confident you become. Henry David Thoreau related to this point well when he
wrote: “I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of a human being to elevate
their life by conscious endeavor.” And advertising guru Donny Deutsch added a more current spin on the
idea when he wrote in his book Often Wrong, Never in Doubt: “For every person with the stuff, the one out
of a hundred who goes to a rarefied place is the one who says, ‘Why not me?’ and goes for it.”
The best among us are not more gifted than the rest. They just take little steps each day as they
march toward their biggest life. And the days slip into weeks, the weeks into months and before they know
it, they arrive at a place called Extraordinary.

Reading is one of the best disciplines I know of to stay “on your game” and at your highest. Reading from a
great book is really all about having a conversation with the author. And we become our conversations.
