Be the exception

The way to be exceptional is to be the exception. Rather than defaulting to what most people would do, do what is best, what is right, what makes a positive contribution.

Exceptional performance comes from exceptional thinking. Don’t merely react to what life sends your direction, but engage the power of your mind to respond in a thoughtful, effective way.

You have something valuable and original to contribute. So to be exceptional, be yourself.

Exceptional behavior is authentic behavior. Center your priorities and efforts around the visions of life you honestly feel at the center of your being.

Exceptional actions are those that bring meaningful results. Look beyond the fleeting, superficial concerns and put your energy into creating value that endures, that serves a purpose.

You are here today to be exceptional, to forge a path into places where no one has gone before. Now, and always, let your own exceptional light shine brightly for the benefit of all.
