Greatness

I wrote this about two years ago. I ran across it, while i was reading through my journal...

 

Ever wonder what causes one to be so great? Many of the greats came from extremely different backgrounds; where one great came from poverty, another great came from royalty. I then ask the question, “Are the great just born great?” I look at it like this; of course the great are born great; no matter the background or socioeconomic status. But I pose the question if  you and I are already born great, why do we need or seek what it takes to be great?

I am simply reminded that, Yes! Truthfully we are all born great. The earliest human beings as we know, Adam and Eve were perfect and made in God’s image; they didn’t have to eat of the “forbidden fruit”; yet by choice, they chose to eat of it and so is greatness faired to us; It’s a choice.  If you are thinking like me, I thought that sounds good, but seems so contradictory. If I am born great, then why am I struggling to be something that I already AM?  

It is not until you come in to full awareness of who you are that you activate that greatness and choose to be great! Especially when all around you, are those who chose not to follow the path that would lead them to realize that they were already great from the start. So, I’ll end with challenging myself as well as you, to choose to be great.

Dare to be great, it’s a choice, but be assured when you manifest it, you were Great All along!
