What does it take to be an extraordinary person?

Our friends Tyler and Kenna came for a visit a few weeks ago.  One of the things that we talked about was "what does it take to be an extraordinary person?"

No one wants to be ordinary. No one wants to be average. But we do meet people from time to time that stand out as exceptional. What sets them apart?

I think that people become amazing people when they start caring enough to pay attention. Pay attention to others. Pay attention to how my attitudes and words effect them. Amazing people rise in the morning and look to do the good. They look to share the love. They look to share the kindness. Amazing people learn to forgive themselves for their mistakes. They don't let their slip ups keep them from their goal of seeing people. They look for people, they reach for people, they care about them and they tell them that they matter.

Is it that hard to be exceptional? It just takes some effort. We can all start right now.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
