Wednesday Words - Greatness - 12/16/2015

Greatness is the quality of being great, distinguished, or eminent. This word carries a positive thought to it, however it is rarely assigned to people or things besides athletes. I believe to be perceived as great from other people, you must perceive yourself and your value as great. To be great is defined as having abilities or qualities considerably above average.

In my eyes, being great is not a single quality, ability, or characteristic, but a combination of all your good attributes and achievements paired with your qualities and abilities. Being great is a process of your whole being.

In this day and age, I believe the ability to be deemed "great" is within yourself. There is no real need for verification from others, as everyone is out to watch for themselves. Find value in yourself, enrich these valuable traits in yourself, and then you may become great. Develop, enhance, value, and appreciate yourself, becoming great will then follow.

Value yourself, keep perspective, stay humble, achieve greatly.
