Stepping Into Your Greatness in 2009

Do you believe in your own greatness?

Agreed, "greatness" is not often the subject of our conversations around the kitchen table or in the workplace. The idea of being GREAT almost sounds too "out there" to be a serious consideration for many people. Perhaps it's seen as only something professional actors, musicians, and athletes pursue.

Nevertheless, there is greatness within you. And I'm wondering as you read this, if you are aware of that - and more importantly - in what ways you are living your own greatness right now.

Perhaps you've noticed that our modern culture is not really geared toward people discovering and living their greatness. You don't have to be your greatness to watch TV, shop, use your iPhone or iPod, go to the movies, or - in many cases - perform your job.

So why bother with being GREAT?

Stepping into your greatness is about being a gift - a contribution - to the world. It's about living beyond the mediocrity that our modern culture often invites us into. It's about believing in yourself and the value that you have to offer others. It's about continuous learning and growth. It's about living fully in each moment, bringing the best of who you are into this moment right now. It's about mastering your craft and offering it to the others for their edification and growth. It's about seeing the people and environment around you with fresh eyes, seeing the miracle that other people are and honoring and celebrating it. It's about allowing Life - God - to express through you fully - to actually become the very hands, eyes, and expression of divinity right now, in this moment.

What does it mean to YOU to be great?

And what would be possible for you this year if you challenged yourself to step into your own greatness, and then to step boldly into your family, workplace, and the world as the gift that you?

In service to the your greatness,
Denver
