Practice.
Practice a lot.
Repitition. Frequency. Repeat. Do it again.
Practice is the tough part. Frequency makes it easier. Consider Labron or Bruce, the speeches of President Obama, the magic of Blaine, or the blogging of Brogan. Imagine the sheer number of hours spent honing the skills, performing the same or similar actions, engaging the peak mental state and physical sequences. Extraordinary.
The repitition of optimal decision making is a quality called Discipline. Discipline empowers us. It's a quality that takes an everyday human being beyond the norm and magnifies their efforts, amplifies their abilities and exemplifies the very meaning of extraordinary.
For whatever you love or are called to do.. do it and do it well.
Practice a lot.
Because thinking a certain thought increases the likelihood that that thought will be thought again. Each time a specific action is performed it strengthens the neural pathways created in the brain, thus making it more natural. Easier.
What empowers you?

A man punches the clock exactly at 9:00 AM during 45 years of his life doing what he is told and repeats the same tasks over and over again...that, is discipline for sure!
ReplyDeleteBut does that make him EXTRA-Ordinary?
Bruce Lee once said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who was practiced one kick 10,000 times"
I agree with you that discipline leads to MASTERY (Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers” illustrates this principle in detail) and achieving excellence at what you do, but not necessarily to extra-ordinariness…
People like Pablo Picasso or John Lennon are good examples of someone using their natural talents to make the ordinary, extra-ordinary, but you don’t have to be the next coming of Buckminster Fuller to be extra-ordinary either.
You ask, what EMPOWERS me? Inspiring people to accomplish extra-ordinary things in their lives is one of them.
What empowers you Kitsch?
Be Extra-Ordinary,
@PeterPalatnik
P.S. 21st Century Mastermind Power…now that touchstone has some extra-ordinary potential in it :-)
Ahh, to be extraordinary. I would suggest each of us already are. But to what degree and how and to what affect are another matter altogether.
ReplyDeleteWhat empowers me are the good messages I have had the grace to receive, the extraordinary insights and brilliant people who've shared their genius with me. What empowers me is the opportunity to pass on those good seeds so that others may tend to their garden of life and bear the fruit of their heart's desire.
What empowers me is the dramatic shift in someone's voice, the invincible pep in someone's step, the fresh and invigorating determination in someone's attitude after they've begun to view themselves and their place in the world in a brighter and more liberating way.
That blows me up in the best way. Whether I shared that with them or not.. being witness to such power gives me life. I feel responsible to share that life with my human family.
So we are kindred in this way.
Inspiration. How extraordinary indeed!
Thank you for sharing what EMPOWERS you Peter and thanks for asking!
BEST!
