Give Yourself a Chance to Be Great

Greatness isn’t found — it’s created, one bold step at a time.

“A Portrait of Greatness” Designed by Carmellita (the author)

Some people believe “Life won’t let them be great.” Greatness isn’t handed out — it’s conceived, developed, and designed.

Here are five ways to give yourself a shot:

1. Say yes to hard things: Greatness is seeded in challenges you’d rather avoid.
2. Stay consistent: Tiny, repeated efforts create massive results. Keep a “stick-with-it attitude.”
3. Don’t stay down: Document your lessons and fail forward.
4. Surround yourself with inspiration: Seek out people, places, and ideas that fuel your awe.
5. Invest in your growth: Greatness is the yield of investing in your potential and investing your potential for a high return.

You don’t have to be perfect but dare to try and if you need to…try again.

One of the ways we can foster greatness is by learning to recover from failure.

Here are a couple of stories I’ve written on how to recover from failure:
