Greatness

You can't half-ass greatness.  Do you feel like you have greatness in your future?  A lot of us feel like we are above average, and we're kind of waiting to see where the greatness will take place.  Whatever form it takes, greatness is out there waiting for you.

But there is something that you can't overlook.  Its not possible to be great at only one thing in your life.  In order to be great at one thing, greatness needs to be the focus of every aspect of your life.  What I mean is this:  if you're working as a server, or housekeeper to make ends meet while you pursue some other passion, then you should be the best damn server or housekeeper you can be.

Aim for greatness at your day job.  Aim for greatness at the gym.  Aim for greatness in your friendships and your relationships.  Greatness isn't a switch you can flip on and off.  Its something that you choose to be, with your entire being.  Try so hard that you take pride in what you do every day.  Every night you should be able to look back at your day and know that you did your best.  You should feel proud of the effort that you made.

As in all aspects of life, there are no shortcuts towards happiness.  When it comes time to make a decision, nine times out of ten, the hard choice is the right one.  To achieve your greatness, you're going to have to make hard choices.  You're going to have to be uncomfortable.  You're going to have to do hard things when you'd rather do easy things.

If you make it your goal to be the best at everything you do, and take pride in every success you have, even the little ones, then you'll find the greatness you're looking for.
