Living In Your Top 1%

Dorothy and I read many books, blogs and Facebook pages and through them we have the pleasure of connecting with insightful, interesting people who are making a positive difference in the world.   All of them provide us with inspiration.

This week’s topic was inspired by Alissa Finerman’s book “Living In Your Top 1%”.  Her book is a guide which can help define what true achievement means to you and will assist you in creating a blueprint for a path to follow to achieve your dreams.   

As I move through my day, I’ve been asking myself if my direction and actions support living in my top 1%.  This visualization has clicked for me because it’s a simple question to answer either yes or no.  “Yes” answers happily encourage me, and “no” answers give me the opportunity to reconsider my actions and make changes which will support my progress.   

Our quotes this week are about making remarkable contributions to the world, and the opportunity to live with distinction.  Thanks to Dorothy Mendoza Row of Mystical Sunflower for the quote she posted that sums up our week’s topic beautifully (you can access Mystical Sunflower from our Facebook page).  

Never forget that you are one of a kind. 

Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness 

to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. 

And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems 

seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. 

In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter 

in the world come about. So be that one person. 

- R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983)
