Summary

We all want to go beyond the average in certain areas of our lives. But how do we begin to do that? Andy and A.T. discuss how living a life of gratitude produces shockingly different results.

What are the practical things you can do that change you life from ordinary to extraordinary?

One of the keys is understanding that you can choose to live an extraordinary life
It is very seldom that an extraordinary life is just granted upon someone
If you choose an extraordinary life, you must understand that you can no longer act and think like the average person

There are many baby steps you can take to start thinking and acting differently.

How Andy treats his garbage men drastically changes the “garbage” area of his life
The way you treat people who do everyday jobs that we all have to have done see drastically different results
These are little areas of our lives, but they can make a big difference in our day-to-day experiences
Look for ways to make a fuss over people
When you treat people beyond the normal way most people treat them, you will get extraordinary responses

To live an extraordinary life, you have to think about how you can serve people better.

You have to pay more attention than the average person
You have to look for different ways to solve average problems
Don’t take anything or anyone for granted
If you live a grateful life, you will achieve shockingly different results
