Moments of greatness

"man's greatness, lies in his power of thought"

Blaise Pascal

I've been thinking about the people who become great and it dawned on me that, they probably had lots of times when they were'nt so great. I imagine they just had a lot more 'moments of greatness' than you and me.

It also occurred to me that we all have moments of greatness. Times when we exceeded our own expectations. I remember a time when I played a tennis match against a club pro. For whatever reason that day at that time, I played totally out of my head. That is until I realized, how great I was playing. Then it all fell apart and I returned to my more normal average game. Has this ever happened to you?

Then there are the other types of moments of greatness. Things like when you did the right thing even though the temptation to do the easy and maybe not moral thing was right there for you to take advantage of. Or maybe you offered assistance to someone in need when you were in a hurry and didn't really want to stop. Or did the right thing as a parent when it would have been more expedient to look the other way.

"We all have moments of greatness"

So if you accept my premise that we all have or are capable of moments of greatness than its only logical, that we are all capable of a life of greatness! Why not try for one moment of greatness today.

I know I'm headed out the door looking for someone to help (whether they need it not) I've got some greatness to find....

I pick the round"
