Thank you so much for giving me this inspiration and igniting my will to change the world, however small the difference. I can't wait to begin changing my life and begin inspiring people just like you inspired me. Thank you!

I needed that. Sometimes I am good at coming up with creative ideas, I am just not good at actually sticking with them. Thanks for the challenge to step it up a notch...or two.

I've been addicted to spiritual search for a very long time pretending to myself that it is possible and the best to live without being remarkable. Within this I experienced a great bandwidth of feelings and conditions, from collapsing on the street to great inner peace and a fulfilling time of full power. Once I noticed that being remarkable is just a natural state, a great sideffect of being able to put all your energy into one stream, to be yourself, to let it flow, not to hold yourself back because of the idealism to fit someone elses expectations. Dreams and anxiety seem to be the medals both sides, get the things done is enough to be happy and that means to be remarkable without spending extra effort to be special. Thanks for your courage, inspiring peoples self discovery. Greetings Patrick Thank you for this great statement.

Absolutely loved this post, it's already printed and glued into my journal. Totally amazing. Bought your book today and feel as if I've found a guru that's telling me "don't worry, you are not alone". Thank you.

They don't understand what I say. I guess I have to ignore them even if they are my family, still on my quest to b remarkable!

Just wanted to let anyone here considering doing the same know that that single decision changed my life. My only regret is not doing it years ago, if your thinking about it don't hesitate; go for it!

Finding this statement: Oh, and one final thing: don’t expect everyone to understand your decision, because most people won’t get it at all. Don’t worry about them. Just be remarkable. was better than finding 'gold at the end of the rainbow'. Reminds me of the Scripture verse Provers 16:16 - 'How much better it is to acquire wisdom than gold; to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver. Makes long for more friends that think as you do; fortunately, I have had one since my college days. It's tiring to be surrounded by people that have 'no real vision' for their own lives. Wow!
