A watercolor painting that includes a woman in orange tones, mandala in pink and purple tones, plants in blue and green tones, and multi-color phrases “I Am Exceptional”, “I Am Enough”, “I Am Worthy”, and “I Am Love”.
Original watercolor painting by Radha Mehta

exceptional [ ik-sep-shuh-nl ]:
adjective
forming an exception or rare instance; unusually excellent; being intellectually gifted.

An inspirational quote using this word:

The exceptional life depends not on working harder, but on different, even opposite, actions from habit and the crowd.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

A very short story inspired by my muse:
She denied believing exceptional people were born that way. Instead, she became exceptional over a long period of time — overcoming adversities — due to grit, clarity, intuition, empathy, persistence and great fortitude. These character traits are required to earn that title.

A few prompts to help you tap into feeling Exceptional:
-What was one thing you were absolutely persistent and determined on, despite adversity, that in the end felt like a major milestone or achievement for you?
-What or who gave you that strength to be so persistent and determined?
-If you were to re-create that persistence and determination to help achieve something new, what would be the first small step you could take now to help you along that journey?
