Greatness

Commentary by Peter Shepherd

Greatness

“Seek not greatness but seek truth and you will find them both.” ~ Horace Mann

You find truth in the heart, which powers greatness.

“Most rules are made by people with no authority who want to control and limit you from reaching your true potential. Ignore them, break their rules, and wave at them as you soar past them to greatness.” ~ Dan Pearce

Never mind the doubters and the blind - as Rumi said, "You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly."

“Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.” ~ Lou Holtz

Indeed, Nelson Boswell pointed out: "The difference between greatness and mediocrity is often how an individual views a mistake."

“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” ~ Napoleon Hill

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, in in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” ~ Bob Marley

Greatness is not measured by money and stature, it is measured by courage and heart. As Gary Lew said, "It is your world. Shape it or someone else will." Better to participate and do your best than to watch from the sidelines.

Despite their appearance, I would contend that deep down, somewhere inside those people, there is still a little spark of desire to have or be more. If you will remember that, it will be much easier to have a positive attitude toward such people. And it will be much easier to bring out their best. Continues...
