When Exponential Becomes Extraordinary

Many people don’t aim for anything extraordinary in life. They are happy if their fundamental needs are met: a decent lifestyle, a life partner, and balanced health.

To be true, that is the core essence of a fulfilled life, but why then, there are people who aim to do epic sh**t, achieve greatness, and constantly pursue the best version of themselves?

And from those who choose that path, what distinguishes the Greatest of all time (0.0001%) from the great (top 1%)?

How are these people made?

The guy who is opening the coffee shop on the corner of your neighborhood thrives to run a successful business same as the guy writing the code for his “1 billion idea project” from his college room. What is the difference between the founder of Nike1, Kim Kardashian, Michael Singer2, and the guys in the “Asking Miami millioners how they became wealthy”3 yt videos?

For the people watching from the outside the end result is the same: great material success. But, the question I’ve been asking myself is: “What is the state of their soul?”

I am curious about their journey, lifestyle, and relationship with God, themselves, and others.

I am curious to know how they react to challenges.

I am seeking to know their level of spirituality.

For me, it was never about money.

It was about my change, and my growth as a person.

Above all my spiritual growth.

Yes, at some point I chased hard after money bc I truly thought to earn money I have to create value, and to create value is to gain more skills. I desperately wanted to change for the better, and I hoped that change would come from the ruthless pursuit of materialistic wealth.

And change.

It came.

But not in the shape and form I thought it would be.

Regardless, it is guiding me closer to the truth.

What I am aiming for is internal peace. Connection with beyond and complete surrender. Faith that everything that life is sending me my way is for my best, and best for society.

It’s hard to have complete faith in a better tomorrow when your life is not like that at the moment.

Can you see yourself successful in your endeavors despite your current situation?

I can.

In full honesty, I am living that life right now.

Some people would call me crazy, arrogant, or lunatic.

How could I even consider such a thought, let alone vocalize it?

I feel my success in my bones. I am living that reality right now.

I’m bringing my future into the present.

I am a Living Abundance.

What I wish the most is for my external worldly growth to come from my internal development.

I wish I lost resistance in me. Resistance towards anything that is not by my will.

There is no point in having resistance towards resistance.

There is no point in having resistance at all.

Acceptance. Surrender. Receptiveness.

That’s the life I want to live.

23 years are magical years.

A lot of transformations in many people’s lives.

Founder of Nike, Phil Knight went on a journey to Japan and started a future multibillion-dollar company, Michael Singer saw his voice from a third perspective. And me? I am alchemizing my pain into beautiful insights and life transformation. I am so glad that I am 23 now, and that all these questions are opening up to me.

I closely evaluate people, events, and experiences life is sending me my way. I don’t automatically think about how I like or dislike “that thing”. I get rid of my preferences and accept what is life sending me my way.

Maybe life can give you more than you ever imagined for yourself.

As one of my dear friends recently told me:

With this in mind, sending you love.
