This Extraordinary Life

Kevin Monroe continues to discuss living an extraordinary life in this solo episode of the Higher Purpose Podcast.

Anyone Can, But Not Everyone Will

Kevin believes that the act of listening to his podcast shows that listeners are aware that their lives have meaning and purpose, and strive to live an extraordinary life. This extraordinary life is here in the now rather than far in the distance. Anyone can do it regardless of their current circumstances, but not everyone will, he says. Though simple, it is not an easy task. It is available to everyone, but not all will say yes to the invitation, and some are so preoccupied with other things that living an extraordinary life is not one of their pursuits. 

Takeaways from the 90-Day Challenge

Kevin talks about the 90-Day “Extraordinary Experiment” challenge and what it taught him. Purpose starves in isolation and thrives in community, he says. An extraordinary life is other-centered, and is best lived with others who are on the same journey. We need one another to inspire, encourage, and lift ourselves up. It is through shared passions, perspectives and experiences between ourselves and others from around the world that we realize there is more that unites us than that which divides us. In addition, we all desire safe spaces where we can freely share our thoughts and ideas. 

Deaths of Despair

Kevin discusses “deaths of despair”: deaths during the current global pandemic caused by isolation and feelings of loneliness. These prove that we are designed for community, Kevin says, and crave to be around like-minded people who see our value. 

Kevin gives details about a guide to living an extraordinary life: his collaborative project with Debbie LaChusa. He urges listeners to maximize their life’s full potential by not settling for an ordinary life and to inspire others to do the same.

    Kevin, As promised, I listened today to your episode with Marc Brackett. Interestingly, I also learned of Marc and his work from Brene’ Brown’s podcast “unlocking us”. Like you, that episode prompted me to buy a copy of “Permission to Feel” and after reading that became a committed student and supporter of emotional intelligence. Marc’s personal story and his fortuitous connection to Uncle Marvin serves as a great inspiration to I am sure what is now millions. The RULER method and Mood Meter are two extraordinary tools that are easily understood and shared with others.

    The best part of Marc Brackett’s work / impact on me personally is that I have now started to teach social emotional learning as part of my leadership practice. His mission to see every child able to succeed in life will require a lot of adults to realize. Teaching SEL as part of my work contributes that and will help him to realize his vision. Thanks for spreading the word and keep up the great work you do on the podcast and in all your other endeavors. Kind regards, Monte
