John Green<\/a>\u00a0asks the profound question of great leaders: \u201cWhat is the point of being alive if you don\u2019t at least try to do something remarkable?<\/i>\u201d They understand that to\u00a0do<\/i>\u00a0something remarkable, they need to\u00a0be<\/i>\u00a0remarkable \u2013 daring and risk-taking, discontent with the \u201cas is\u201d and passionate dreamers in the relentless pursuit of \u201cwhat can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his recent blog post,\u00a0Dan Rockwell<\/a>\u00a0shares his thoughts on\u00a07 Ways to Become Remarkable<\/a><\/i>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take every opportunity to connect with remarkable people. Poke and prod them. Remarkable seldom happens in isolation.<\/li>\n
  2. Do less of what you did yesterday. Remarkable is about change, never more of the same. There is a caveat. You must never change your passion to do things that matter. You can\u2019t simply chase the latest shiny new object and be remarkable.<\/li>\n
  3. Reject excuses. Do the scary thing.<\/li>\n
  4. Do what makes you happy in service to others. Serving yourself makes you forgettable. Serving others makes you remarkable.<\/li>\n
  5. Dig in for the long haul. Bertrand Piccard and Andr\u00e9 Borschberg\u2019s attempt to fly a solar airplane around the world began 14 years ago. Bertrand has raised over 140 million dollars.<\/li>\n
  6. Act your way into clarity. Dreaming is useful only when it inspires action.<\/li>\n
  7. Lean into dissatisfaction with optimism, not despair.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Be<\/i>\u00a0remarkable!\u00a0Do<\/i>\u00a0remarkable!\u00a0Be<\/i>\u00a0more than you ever dreamed you could be\u2026 and more\u2026 so much more.<\/p>\n

    Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!<\/p>\n
