no permission to be great..

GREATNESS IS IN YOU

Hello,

Malcolm Gladwell in his book - "The Outliers" stated that it takes 10 years to become an expert in any field.

Your ability to focus on a particular goal for 10years depends on how much you can persevere.

Perseverance according to the dictionary means "the ability to continue in spite of difficulty or lack of success."

Who do you want to be in the next ten years? Have you started working towards it? Are you ready to persevere for the next ten years?

There are many things that can make you lose focus of your goal, but you must determine in your heart to persevere against all odds.

One great man that comes to my mind when I think of perseverance is Nelson Mandela. He was kept in prison and isolation for 22 years and even in the midst of all these, he continued to persevere for the good of his country and those yet unborn.
 

Greatness is not about being famous or rich. It is about sacrifice, living a life worthy of emulation; living for the One who created you.

That greatness is in YOU....

love.

4 pitfalls to greatness

 Hello.

Are you ready for your next level?

Get ready, you are about to be launched into greatness because your season of greatness has come.

Remember, it is not what you know that counts, but what you do with what you know.

Today, I would also like to mention some pitfalls to greatness.

Pride: you can call it pride or arrogance, but the moment you begin to feel you are better than others or you are higher than others regardless of your position, that is the day you will begin to diminish. "Pride comes before a fall." 
 

There was a great king who had everything; power, influence and affluence. The moment he said in his heart that his strength brought him to where he was, God reduced him to a wild animal for 7 years and he was driven out of his palace into the bush, until he came back to his right senses. If there is anything you must run away from, it is pride.

Ungratefulness: A wise man once said "The greatest fool is he that is ungrateful." Ungratefulness cuts the flow of God's blessing into your life. Ungratefulness stops you from seeing the things that are working and the things God is doing in your life. You can never become great if you have an ungrateful attitude.

Slothfulness: To be slothful means to be lazy. The price for greatness is hardwork. Laziness tells you to continue sleeping when it is time to wakeup. Laziness tells you to play when it is time to work. Laziness tells you to sit in front of the T.V when it is time to read. Laziness destroys your potential for greatness. 
 

Lack of wisdom: if there is anything that can stop you from maximizing your potential for greatness, it is foolishness. Wisdom positions you for greatness but foolishness leads you to the part of destruction. "He that walks with the wise will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." "Wisdom is the principal thing. So get wisdom and in all your getting get understanding."

"Tyson's case: from grace to grass." I want to share an excerpts from it- "It is now a common occurrence to find great men fall below the par, giants of yesterday are now dwarfs in the realms they once dominated. We have past champions become a shadow of themselves today. Why do men fall from their lofty estate to the ground of failure and frustration?"

You will succeed!
