Greatness

I listen to a lot of podcasts, way too many I think. One of them referenced another podcast (which is how I got to “way too many”) that always ends the interview with the same question: How do you define GREATNESS?

That’s a wonderful question! I’d like to hear a lot of responses to this question: How do you define GREATNESS? I’ll start, and let’s talk. I’d like to avoid mentioning names unless it’s absolutely necessary.

My understanding of GREATNESS is claiming your place in, and accepting your responsibility for, a world that you recognize as being more and bigger than you.

You don’t have to be famous for anything to be GREAT. You don’t have to be well-educated, wealthy, talented, or accomplished. In fact, I don’t look at many well-known people and consider them particularly GREAT. But some of the people I don’t consider GREAT may fit your definition.
