The Steps We Take To Be Great

How do you define greatness? Do you want to be great? Do you believe in your ability to be great? Are you willing to work hard at becoming great? Are you willing to commit? Do you have a positive, motivating attitude toward being great?

Great to hear! But all the tools to be great are not how one becomes great. They help, but they're not the manifesto of greatness. Greatness happens through persistence. Hard work, dedication, and commitment can lead to greatness, but greatness is often discovered unexpectedly like a serendipity that can be happened upon during a journey on a path less likely taken. 

Greatness starts with a decision to believe in oneself. The precise moment we believe that we've struck oil, that we've found gold or a valuable piece of coal after we have done everything in our power to be successful, all we need is the key to succeed beyond our expectations.

But that's not how it works. There's a dark side to becoming great. When you're great, no one will tell you "you're great." Those who do expect something from you. If you want to be great, be great that's all it takes.

 Make Yourself Great

No one can really tell anyone how to be great. I believe we're great at what we're great at. Some of the great greats of the past never saw themselves as being great. It's as if their mirror told them otherwise it reflected who they believed themselves to be. 

Who do you believe yourself to be? You should believe that you can be as great as you want to be.
