#11 - Greatness

"Great women, men and leaders are made in moments when others do not believe."

"It is easy to get on a train of opinion, belief and action, when it is filled with passengers and you know exactly where it is going. It is a different story when no one is on board and you must determine the train's destination or trust that conductor knows where he is taking you.

When everyone is in agreement, it is easy to follow the crowd. When you have an unmeasured perspective that has not been accepted, you are now entering into the place of definition and defining. This is where original people that we call great are born.

You must place at risk that which you are comfortable with and rely upon, if you are move to a new perspective and do what has never been done before. Believe what has never been believed before. Think what has never been thought of before."

#10 - Choice

"Failure is not a choice I make.
Success is not a choice I make.
They are only goals to which I aspire.

Effort of a consistent nature is the only choice I can make. From this, the outcome will be what it will be."

"Failure and success are only perceptual observations that we apply to outcomes that do not meet our plans, wants and expectations.

Persistent quality effort is the only thing that is in our control. The results are the results. How we evaluate them is based upon how we perceive them to be.

We can dream, demand and attempt to build success, but the results we seek rarely arrive in the form of our design and aspiration."

Every step taken outside of your routine and comfort zone is a step taken into a deeper and more meaningful life.

"Staying with what you know strengthens your perspective yet does not necessarily broaden it. A routine and comfort zone can hold you together but can also hold you down wih fear and non-daring. Our natural ability to adapt and grow is a strength that is not supported by a static routine and surroundings that supports what we like best about ourselves.

Routines must be developed but more importantly must evolve and change. Comfort zones are great if used as a launching pad from which you can reach for greater personal fulfillment.

A routine and a place of comfort provides us with some sense of control in life but is that enough to meet our needs for fulfillment and meaning?"
