We have been led to believe that being extraordinary and living an extraordinary life is a fantasy, an impossibility. It is something reserved for only the rich, the famous, or the chosen few.

We live in a culture that tells you an extraordinary life is based on how much money you have, the things you own, level of fame, or your popularity on social media. Most people do not possess many of these things. In an attempt to feel better, we search outside ourselves for external things that will fill the internal hole of discomfort albeit temporarily. It is an endless, insatiable roller-coaster ride of ups and downs.

If you truly want to be extraordinary and lead an extraordinary life, you must first realize that the path is inward. This is no new concept or thought—it has been taught for thousands of years by some of the world’s finest teachers.
