How do I define greatness? ---- That's a great question.

[PinkSodaPop]

I believe that defining greatness will always originate from within one's self.

What I find to be great may not be great to another, but when it's real for me and great for me...I'm doing no wrong in my own eyes.

Defining greatness is no easy task --- I usually like to think I long for and follow after things of greatness --- meaning having the same sorts of ideals I have, wants I have, and things I wish for happiness and peace in all things.

Greatness is from within --- I want to emulate and be 'great' so therefore I follow after those things which are 'great'...and hopefully I'm inspiring someone else to be the 'greatness' that they are also seeking in their lives.

Millions of people everyday follow after something...things which will bring them happiness or so they think.
Reality dictates that this thing we follow must be worthy in the first place to be really 'great'.

I find that following after things of a pure and honest nature are things that bring me happiness....like helping someone in need, not because I have to, but because I can and want to.

I want to be defined as 'great' and I follow after 'great things' ...So once again greatness is defined by what is within you. 

We all have the ability to make concious decisions which will seek out greatness, that will ultimately result in greatness within one's self. 


This is the way greatness is defined, it's all within.

It's a gift thing...it's better to give a gift with a pure heart and intentions, than to give one begrudgedly.

It's far better to give yourself something worthwhile to follow after.... to define your greatness, you need to follow after the things that are great of this world.


This is how I define greatness, it always starts with me.

Greatness is defined by what I am, and then amplified by the greatness of others around me that also are seeking after greatly things.
