“…Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”  ~ William Shakespeare

Good Morning!

Our greatness can be expressed in many ways.  It can be the way we cook…be it a casserole or an extravagant dinner, a hamburger or a steak, an artful salad, or a lowly potato patty, banana boats, or just a plate of fresh fruit.  Good food, lovingly prepared and artfully presented, is never anything but great!  Our greatness might be in the ability to comfort a crying child, help someone overcome a fear, or take a great stride toward self-change.  Sometimes we think of greatness as “what is happening around us,” without realizing all the greatness for which we are responsible.

Your Turn:  As you move throughout your day today, be conscious of the fact that you have the ability to turn the “good” to “great.”  Take a moment to reflect on five great things you did in the last week as well.  When we take the time to praise ourselves for what we do well, we will naturally do more of it.

Today’s Affirmation:  I care enough to transform the good into the great.
