Strike The Match

Today I received a note from a reader who is making some great strides towards his extraordinary life but he still has some questions about what step to take next.  Here is an summary of his note:

I can currently do a Sprint Triathlon (0.5 mile swim, 12.4 mile bike, 3.1 mile run) and finish in middle of the pack.  The next level is the Olympic Triathlon (.93 mile swim, 24.8 mile bike, 6.2 mile run).  I want to do the Olympic but I still feel I have more to prove at the Sprint. 

Is it better to improve at the Sprint or should I go to the Olympic level where it would be a challenge just to complete? 

(Another factor is I enjoy training with other people and my friends are doing the sprint level again next year).

Last week I shared my goal of launching a Strike the Match Group.  This note is a perfect example of its purpose.  As we attempt to live our extraordinary life, we all have questions and we all need support.  The purpose of this group is be an inspiration as we strive to take action and live an extraordinary life.   

Since this readers note is such a great example, I am going to open a forum for it in the group and I would love for you to help him find a solution.  Will you be part of our community? 

Strike the Match.  Take Action, Be Extraordinary.

A powerful point from The Power of One….

“…always in life an idea starts small, it is only a sapling idea, but the vines will come and they will try to choke your idea so it cannot grow and it will die and you will never know you had a big idea, an idea so big it could have grown thirty meters through the dark canopy of leaves and touched the face of the sky…  The vines are people who are afraid of originality, of new thinking.  Most people you encounter will be vines; when you are a young plant they are very dangerous… Always listen to yourself… It is better to be wrong than simply follow convention.  If you are wrong, no matter, you have learned something and you will grow stronger.  If you are right, you have taken another step toward a fulfilling life.”

Strike the Match.  Take Action, Be Extraordinary.
