Abnormal mindsets

[Smarky]

To have extraordinary success you have to be an extraordinary person. Abnormal demands and goals require an abnormal mindset.

What is that extraordinary/abnormal mindset?

Abnormal and extraordinary mindset?

I think it is the matter of going one step further or doing things that nobody dare to dream about.

I met 3 siblings who were in their 20s and they told me about their big dreams. When I said big, I mean reaaaaal big.

They have dreams that most of the experienced working adults dare not even think about!

Abnormal is anything along the spectrum toward hatred, sadness, fear, melancholy, greed, abuse, self-centeredness.

Haha why to go with the negativity! :P That's just not true at all.

Abnormal could mean everything to the opposite of what you just said as well.

Anything geared toward love, joy, happiness, wholeness, spirituality can be abnormal? In whose universe?

We are talking in reality.

It's abnormal to show extra care for a stranger, to make a random person smile or do random acts of kindness to people.

Okay it may not be abnormal for some people here or for everyone, but it is abnormal in society in general!

You are silly. I thought you were serious.

I believe in this sense, 'normalcy' means mediocrity. The center of the bell curve, so to speak, where 'normal' people tend to gravitate. In which case, abnormal is 'that which deviates from the norm'. IOW, it is either extreme, positive or negative.

In regards to the original question, it would depend upon what the 'Abnormal' goals and demands are.

You have to dare to be YOURSELF, to do that what you really enjoy doing... no matter what others say... think different and don´t do what everybody is doing, don´t go with the flow of the masses, do your own thing - normally doing exact the opposite what everyone is doing... listen to your inner voice/intuition... that is how you will end up to become EXTRAORDINARY and people will love you because you are different, because you are yourself - because everybody of us is unique and has specific talents and gifts to share... only the masses think that they have to copy what others do instead of being themselves. If you look closer at "extraordinary" people with "extraordinary success" you will realize that is what they are doing

Normal is like beign avergae, extrordinary is away from average, so i think that you IF you have extraordinary, you are away from average, and away from normality, you are not normal, you are of the few exceptions.

Yup, excatly, but what is it? If normal is average and vice versa then what is extraordinary? what makes up that mindset compared to the norm?

Thats a different question. What makes an extraordinary mind?, it depends i think, you cant be extraordinary in everything in your life. An extraordinary painter may be an average extroverted person, or an extraordinary extroverted person might be an awfull painter, and so on. And extraordinary president may be an average economist.
