β Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them β
γ

n my opinion achieving greatness is much greater than being born with it or, having thrust upon you. Starting at 0 and working your way up to 100, by doing it yourself it is much more rewarding and meaningful. Things that are given to you by others donβt show any work or character. To me creating and then being the best version of yourself that's what greatness is.
Thereβs always someone better but, there can't be another you. All the external things such as status, money, and sex mean nothing if youβre unhappy with who you are. I do agree that it's fun to have those things however, when we're sitting back at the retirement home playing bingo, we will mostly be thinking about what weβve done, not what we had.
The idea of greatness is very important to me.
Every person has their own ideas of greatness so have I.
Being WHO you are, staying true to WHO you are despite the backlash. And caring more about βbeingβ than βwantingβ. That's how I connect greatness to my life It's hard to really find yourself, it's even harder to be.
β You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. β
β Albert Camus
Greatness is up to the individual, as is life.
To me being greater than others doesn't matter. I think we should all aim to be better than ourselves, not others.
In my opinion, being a good person is a mark which is reached when a person can look at all their insecurities, doubts, fears, and understands that their human, as is everybody else.
While a great person knows that of the good but takes action. Does not give into their insecurities and stands up to them. A great individual is not afraid to admit their human but also knows they can work harder and can always improve themselves.
β Live to the point of tears. β
