Within all of us, there is the potential for greatness. However, what constitutes ‘greatness’ is not the same for everyone. What it does suggest is that within the context and circumstances of your life, you have to potential to achieve beyond the status quo, and ultimately, more than you had envisaged.

However, it is important to appreciate that greatness is not for the faint of heart. You will be tested at almost every turn, and more so as you progress along the path. However, when the going gets tough, it is important to remember that to achieve anything truly great, you will experience strife along the way. Further, if the road was easy, a lot more people would be trying to do what you are doing.

Hence, be prepared for a battle that is not just mental and/or physical – depending on what you are hoping to achieve. The real battle tends to be an emotional one: when you are fatigued from the long and rough road you have travelled, and you are now filled with self-doubt or are questioning whether all of that effort is really worth it.

It is important to remember why you chose that path in the first place. The odds that you knew the journey would have been challenging, and it so is important to take solace in what you have achieved so far. More crucially, in the time when you are finding the path especially difficult, the odds are a breakthrough is just around the corner, if you can just persevere a little bit longer.

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
