Sunday Story…The Journey to Extraordinary III

John Mariotti • November 23, 2024

A neon sign that says the journey is on
You are empowered to decide how you want your journey to extraordinary to play out. Notice, however, that it is a journey. We aren’t talking about an extraordinary destination, although your destination may, indeed, be extraordinary. The joy, the learning, and the teaching are in the journey. And like Odysseus’ trek home, it isn’t going to be a direct path. There will be detours, there will be monsters, there will be setbacks.

Throughout your journey to living an extraordinary life, you are faced with one immutable fact: your time here is limited. We are all going to die. Our time on earth is short and we have a responsibility to ourselves, our loved ones, and our maker to fill it with activities that will cement a legacy.

We all leave a legacy. Some people leave a much bigger, longer-lasting legacy than others. But we all leave one. As we move on our journey, staying in harmony, always inching closer to the end point of our stay, the question becomes: do my actions, do my words, match with the legacy I am striving to leave?

When you are gone, what will be said about you? There is no hierarchy in the graveyard, the one who amasses the most does not sit above the one who amasses less. Our job here at Odyssey is to give you permission to voyage extraordinarily and then celebrate your journey. But you will have to make the climb yourself. I can’t do it for you. I can help, cajole, inspire, and push but in the final assessment, it will be all you.

So go forth and leave the extraordinary legacy you were put on this earth to leave.
