“Everything can be taken from a man but …the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
-Viktor Frankl
When was the last time that you focused on how great you are? Many of us are so stuck in a cycle of disappointment, self-doubt, frustration, and overwhelm that we forget to look at ourselves in a positive light. As the quote above tells us…we do have a choice. We are all Great in some way. You will never achieve Greatness unless you first choose to be Great.
Here are 3 ways to Find, Choose, and Cultivate your Greatness:
- Find Your Greatness
- Figure out where your strengthens and talents lie
- Take a strengths finder test
- Make a list of things that your friends, family and colleagues frequently ask you for help with
- Consider the things you are passionate about and love to do
- Choose To Be Great
- Decide to Dream Big
- What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
- Step out of your comfort zone and try new experiences
- Believe that you can achieve your dreams
- Be fearless in your pursuits
- Cultivate Your Greatness
- Take Action Now!
- Surround yourself with people who support your dreams
- Create an environment that reflects your passion
- Build a collection of affirmations to keep you focused on the positive
- Practice and play at what you are Great at
- Give yourself permission to have FUN!
Remember, you can choose to focus on what’s wrong with you and your life – or you can choose to focus on What’s Great About You!
