How do you define greatness?
Is it defined by a “quantity?” Or is it defined by “quality?” Does greatness equal a number? Can greatness ever be attained? Maybe it is getting that Olympic gold or maybe it’s getting a “parent of the year” sticker from your child. Is it someone telling you that you changed their life, or is it the student who comes back 20 years later and tells the teacher “thank you?”
Maybe greatness is getting up everyday to accomplish an insurmountable task you have been working on diligently for years with the same passion as the very first day. Or maybe it’s the soldier who completed his or her first marathon with prosthetic legs. Maybe greatness is reconciling a bad relationship after 15 years or could it possibly be having the motivation and drive to continue when all others said you would fail?
To me greatness is never ending for it is a lifelong process. It’s like chasing something that at times is so close, but just slips out of grasp. I can’t measure it, and often can’t see it. I don’t wait on it, I go seek it. Greatness is created. It never comes to you. Each day we all wake up with the opportunity to be great. Let today be that day. What can you do with this day that demonstrates greatness? GO DO IT!
