Greatness does not usually come as the result of one inspiring moment. It is the result of countless moments, thousands of choices and consistent work toward your goals. When you try to do the right thing 100% of the time, no one can ever take you down at the knees because your foundation is grounded and strong. As you rise up, unfortunately there are naysayers and those who will attempt to put you down, nit pick and look for weak spots to focus upon. None is perfect but if you continually seek to do the right and best thing every day, this will add up to eventual greatness. The “stars” you see on the platform that society views today did not arrive there overnight. Few see the sacrifices, the consistent work in the trenches, the day in and day out, night in and night out effort that it took for them to eventually “arrive”. Few will do what they have done, but many want what they have achieved. Unless you are wiling to do the work, do not expect the reward. It is the small and large deposits that we make toward the goal that count. Some day we can give much; some days we have little but our very best effort and that has to be enough. But, it adds up. Do not be discouraged that you cannot be great and give much every day!  There are times where in order to help others become strong, we must be weak or others will never learn or have the opportunity to develop their best self. More than anything, do not be disheartened! When you are at your lowest, look up. When you have given that which you know is not sufficient but it’s all you have to give, know you have given your best. Do this consistently every single day of your life and in the end, you will have lived your best and greatest life, and have much success. This is the true measure of greatness…

To Your Success!
