It doesn’t matter where you come from – there is magnificence inside all of us. We merely need the strategies to unleash our greatness. The journey to greatness won’t always be a pretty one, but it will be the most significant adventure of your life.
Monday Motivation: How to Achieve Greatness
#1. Be confident enough to walk alone.
Not everyone currently surrounding you will be good for, or part of, your destiny. Be fierce. Be prepared to eliminate anyone from your daily life which threatens to stand in your way of greatness until you get there. You have to be confident enough in yourself to make big decisions under pressure and think outside of the box. Not everyone will agree with your ideas or your path, so you have to be brave enough to walk alone – implementing this practice brings the additional benefit of attracting the right people to join you in your journey.
#2. Learn how to control your mind.
You will have moments of doubt, insecurities, and negativity. You must learn the tools to put out these potentially destructive fires as soon as they start to prevent them from burning your dreams. Identify your ‘why,’ then go after your goals like your life depends on it – because it does.
#3. Be ready for the fight of your life.
Be wise enough to listen to the right people, and wise enough to ignore stupid people. Trust your intuition to differentiate between the two. Greatness doesn’t come overnight. It will take every ounce of your energy to get to your destination. Get ready to fight and don’t let anyone or anything extinguish the fire in your soul.
#4. Commit to becoming great.
A mediocre life is spiritual suicide. Whatever you aspire to be great at, go after it with everything you’ve got.
