Greatness is a choice

Who are you not to be Great?
You, with the Appetite for Knowledge and the Humility of acceptance, crème de la crème of commonality, with the ambition of distinction and the power of imagination, who are you NOT to be Great?

Who are you to be ordinary?
You, who was destined to stand out, overachieve, compel, press! And coerce tradition. If you are here for a reason, who are you to be ordinary?

Who are you to be anonymous?
You, who wasn't born to be shy, quiet and self-conscious. YOU!  whose name should be respected, retained and spoken with reverent relevance. Humility is required in the presence of disdain, but be inescapable in the presence of obscurity, because who are you to be anonymous?

Who are you to be afraid?
You are fighting for your life, your purpose, and the ability to actualize your dreams and ideas, You, who've already conquered so much, you who've already won, has nothing to fear with failure fearing you, so who are you to be afraid?

Who are you to be a slave to the past?
You, who can control outcomes, create your path with unmitigated decisions
and rewrite history with diverse perception. It's you who's chosen this path and it's that path that has created the person today which makes you the Master of your fate, so who are you to be a slave to the past?

Who are you to deny Greatness?
If you would deny it to yourself, you deny it to the entire world.

"Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us."-Wilma Rudolph 
Greatness awaits
