How to be great

image by atatalion


Greatness comes from within. It's all the positive things we are that we put into action and use to help those around us. Great people shift the tide, they make big changes, and power small dynamic. They are gutsy as hell, take risks that dont always pan out, believe in themselves they do it because it's do or die. They are learning, some lessons are more painful than others, but learn them we must. Strength comes from within. It comes from having the courage to understand not everything in our life is guaranteed.  We want a better future, not just for themselves but for the people around Us. Knowledge is power, wisdom, experience. Use your life lessons and they will take you far. Progress, growth, pain, change, come hand in hand. Greatness is in all of us, in the toughest times is when it is required of us to tap into a higher power.

Icarus: Are you too close and falling?

Icarus. The story of the boy who flew too close to the sun and came crashing down, one of the most infamous Greek myths of old. There are many Icarus in our society, people who have reached for the sun with both hands only to plummet to the earth. The many Icarus of our Icarus breed warn us how much trouble our greed could get us into,Some give a kind word in our ears warning us of the dangers of our plight, the threats that lurk like ghouls in the air. We know though that we were out of Orbit, it wasn't sheer greed it was ambition, as ammunition. Risks don't always pan out. Then we dust our Ego's off, lull our insecurities to sleep the best we can, and hurl ourselves back on the bucking bronco. We're allowed to take risks, risks that lead to positive progress. You only live once
