All of us are fascinated by
greatness whatever its form, sports, entertainment and even gardening!
We love to see people doing ordinary things in extraordinary ways. We feel likewise
when seeing extraordinary things being done in extraordinary ways. Something
about the sight stirs our senses and provokes remembrances of when we entertained
visions of our own greatness. The good
news is that you still have time to design a life of greatness if you are
willing. You might not be able to achieve that NBA dream but you can do
something that will pique your passion so that you can stop rehashing what might
have been.
The first step to living a life
of greatness is to simply DECIDE that this is what you are going to do. Simple as it
sounds, many people haven’t decided to live a life of greatness.
They talk about it and are enamored by it but they never decide to commit to
its pursuit. Characteristically, they are great fans but poorly focused when it
comes to their dreams. The problem, however, isn’t a lack of focus but
rather indecision. Once you decide, focus comes; plans form and magic follows
provided you stay committed. Do it now and you will see how things change.
The second step to living a life
of greatness is DESIGN. You have to design what greatness looks like for you,
not what someone else designs for you. Design is the art of greatness which, by
the way, is just as important as the science. The great thing
about design is that it’s so liberating. In fact design allows you to reflect (and
promote) your quirks and your competencies –your unique lifestyle-- which becomes
a life-statement of who you are. So, it’s okay to collect ideas, just as you would
when furnishing a house or accessorizing your home. But ultimately you must decide what your
design will include, no matter how eccentric. Ignore naysayers because everything is
impossible until it's done!
The final step to living a life
of greatness is to DARE. You must dare to believe that your dreams of greatness
are not only possible but that you are responsible for their fulfillment. This
doesn’t mean that you have to stress but you should strive daily for success. Daring, moreover, shouldn’t be draining but charming instead because you never know
what will happen as you go forward. That’s what makes life exciting! That’s
what makes greatness fascinating. That’s why each of us pauses whenever greatness
appears from some unlikely place. These achievers, DECIDED,
DESIGNED and DARED to live a life of greatness. You can too; decide today to
commit your way to living a life of greatness.
BE PASSIONATELY PATIENT AS YOU ARE MAKING IT HAPPENI
