ARE YOU GREAT ????
CAN YOU BE GREAT ????
DO YOU WANT TO BE GREAT ???
IS GREATNESS IN YOU ???

EVERY single person... should answer ALL of these questions "YES".

And EVERY person should say "yes" to these questions, because it is TRUE.

EVERY single person has the potential to be great, no matter what you have been taught, no matter what you have been told..... no matter how much you have been put down, beat down, held down, or just let yourself down.
ALL of that....all of your own previous mistakes do NOT matter.....you CAN BE GREAT.

I can say that with total confidence, because I know for a FACT, that it is true.

Everyone can be great, because greatness is not handed to us.... greatness is earned, greatness is fought for.....greatness comes from WITHIN US, and from NOWHERE else........
This statement is true, because it has been proven....over, and over, and over again....

Lou Ferrigno.....televisions "Incredible Hulk", and star of many "Hercules" movies....as well as being a top bodybuilder in the world......is mostly DEAF.
He has had trouble speaking and communicating his whole life.....had to have people speak for him in early movies, probably was ridiculed as a child, put down, held back...maybe even shunned by some for his disability.
Would you consider the "Incredible Hulk, Lou Ferrigno" great ???
I sure would.

How about Boxing Legends.... Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.....both came from poverty and bad areas, and both could have easily NOT attained the GREATNESS that they did, if they didn't have the drive and desire from within.
Ali once said.... "If you ever even DREAM of beating me, you had better wake up and APOLOGIZE"
That is greatness, that is "will to win", that is desire, that only comes from inside you.

Nadia Comaneci....the first woman to ever score a perfect 10 at the Olympics, had low expectations for the "season" that she ended up taking the world by storm, and setting the first ever "Perfect 10" by a woman.
Greatness....from within.

Martina Navratilova came from a country that was in poverty at the time....yet she rose to be one of the greatest tennis players that ever lived.

Greatness can come from anywhere, from anyone.....but always from within.

The SAME greatness that was in all of them, is in you too.....

You see, greatness has many levels.
The doctors that save lives every day, the social workers who help people every day, the person that goes out of his way to help an older person across a busy street.....even people in these very communities we are all "posting" on.
There are people in these "internet communities"...right under our very noses, who we all may even be talking too, or commenting with....that have been through MASSIVE struggles, but use that to help others.

You see, there are MANY MANY forms of greatness, and they are all within YOU.

Right now, EACH and every person reading this has the potential to be great.
BUT, greatness is a choice.....
Greatness is earned....
Greatness is fought for......

Can you be great ????
I KNOW....that you can......
