Greatness Redefined
How many times have you wondered what greatness is? I am sure more than a few times.
The word greatness brings a lot of different perceptions in mind that has been established by the media and the people around you that have an influence.
In reality greatness is something that you should define for yourself, if you follow the greatness of the other person you will NOT become great, in fact you might end up depressed as you will not be able to match with the level of success of that person because you lack that passion.
When we think of greatness, we usually think of Money, Prestige, Power, Popularity.
Greatness is not usually associated with a person working from 9-6 and doing an excellent job at raising his kids and maintaining a great relationship with his wife, but why not? He is also infact great at what he does, only because not many people know about it and he may not have as much as money and popularity as other great "celebrities" that they see around.
This is something that makes me concerned is that as a society if we feel that we are good at something and it gives us personal satisfaction we have the right to feel as great as the billion dollar businessman or the $10 Million per movie superstar.
A big role is also played by women of our society, women tend to have a great desire to compete with other women/families and they try to get the same as the others have.
There is another important point to remember that the life you live right now will not be the same the next day, as your circumstances change your family structure will also change.
As the man doubles his income, the interaction of the family and the relationship between them will also change, it could be for the good or bad but it has to change.
It is my request for anyone who reads this post is to try to find something that you love and work towards achieving greatness in that.
If it is your family, make sure that you can become the best husband and father anyone has ever seen.
If you love something else just dive into it and devote your life towards achieving greatness in it.
You will really get the feeling of your life, I promise that.
