The greatest glory in living is to live your life. It is not to focus on what you cannot do. It is to live your life and live it well.

The greatest glory in living your life is to be comfortable with yourself. If you are comfortable with yourself, with your life, with who you are, there is nothing you can’t do.

You are going to fail in life. Everything is not going to be nice everyday. Sometimes it is going to work against. Sometimes it is going to work in your favor. No matter what happens, take it. It is not always what happens that hurts us; it is how we handle it that hurts us.

When you fail, get up. When you fall, get up. When things are not working for you, don’t quit. Try to understand why it is not working for you. Maybe you are doing something wrong, maybe not. If you quit, you will never know what you are doing wrong. Nelson Mandela said, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

The greatest glory in living your life is how you handle yourself. Because if you don’t know your true self, you will be unable to explore life. Self-knowledge is the beginning of life. Know yourself to know others. That is the greatest glory in living your life.

The Path To Your Greatness

Greatness doesn’t come from doing great things; it comes from doing small things really well. Greatness is not about big things; it is about how you handle small things in your life.

You have the seeds of greatness inside you. Don’t search for greatness. You have it. It is your job to connect with your greatness.

It doesn’t matter what you do, but it matters how you are doing it. If you are in a job that you don’t like, instead of complaining about it, look carefully, you will connect with the greatness in your job.

There is greatness in everything. We don’t see it, because we are chasing the wrong goals.

To connect with your greatness, practice these habits everyday:

Whatever you do, focus on making a difference in other people’s lives. As I said before, it doesn’t matter what you do, but it matters how you are doing it. It is how you do what you do that will change your world. In the powerful worlds of Nelson Mandela, “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” What a powerful quote!

If you want to connect with the greatness within you, you must take the long walk to freedom. To change your life, to connect with your greatness, it is going to take a long walk. Greatness doesn’t happen overnight. It happens everyday.

If you want to achieve greatness in your life, you must be patient. You must work on your craft everyday. To quote the great Nelson Mandela, “There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.”

Don’t fight your fear, welcome it. Let us be real here. You can’t achieve greatness without facing your fear. I don’t know what you fear. Fear is there. Don’t fight your fear, embrace it. Don’t let your fear stop you from achieving your greatness.

According to Dan Rockwell, “The door you fear is the door to step through.” If you don’t face your fear, your fear will stop you from moving forward. You want to move forward, right? Don’t fight your fear, understand it. Welcome it. Embrace it.
