Settle for Greatness and Nothing Less

At birth, your parents desire the best for you. The nurture you and see to it that you have the best things in life. As we all know, the best things in life are not free. From birth, you grow into the nice young man or woman your parents intended for you. Grade school was simple. The harder courses in life come after grade school.

You set your sights on your dreams and goals. The first thing you must do is to write down the pros and cons of your goals and your dreams. In this age of technology, once you find your niche you then go search for what it takes to get started. Along the way, you can come across interesting people who may be willing to help you get your foot in the door. Beware of nay Sayers. These are the people will try to bring you down because they don’t want to see you get ahead in life. If it weren’t for these types of people, we wouldn’t work hard to achieve greatness. Greatness also comes from within when you start to believe in yourself, your goals and dreams.

It’s not only dealing with school. It applies to every aspect of your life. Say that you received the job of your dreams; it’s now up to you to do the job that is in front of you. You always want to make sure your work is correct, finished in a timely fashion and not sloppy. If you are working for “the man,” prove to that person that you are capable of doing that job, and when a higher position comes along, don’t be afraid to apply for that position. You always keep in mind that you are great and no one should tell you different and don’t give them permission to say that you are not great.

Relationships are the hardest to deal with when receiving greatness and not settling for less. Relationships are hard to begin with anyway. Everyone has heard that opposites attract . Then there are dating sites that have dimensions to match the person who is compatible with you. Everyone has flaws. You desire that person to be a certain way mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially secure like yourself. To you, that is greatness if you consider yourself great. If they don’t fit up to those standards, you move on because you are not settling for less–you are trying to achieve greatness.

The best way to achieve greatness to be able to settle for it and nothing less is to begin with the mindset that YOU ARE GREAT! Wake up every morning, look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful, you are great and you deserve greatness and “greatness begins in me.”
