The stage is set. The audience is waiting. It’s time for you to step up.
No person was simply destined for greatness. It is honed, cultivated and created.
‘But who am I to make a change?’
You have a deeper reservoir of power than you ever even realised. This I know, I see it time and again in people.
Greatness is there for you, if you’re willing to work for it.
But greatness is not about wanting fame, fortune and riches. It is about relentlessly changing the world for the better. Greatness is the deeper conviction. The drive. The energy.
Ever hung around someone with such a powerful aura that their energy was so intoxicating?
When I went to India a few years back, I briefly came face to face with a man named Steve Hardison. He was the sort of guy you would have to pay $200,000 dollars to work with. And the sort of person that you would fly all the way to India to hear him speak. From the outside, It sounds like some sort of slick marketing schtick to shock people. That is until you meet him.
I remember being at a reception before the event. He took the time to greet people, one by one. He looked deep into people’s eyes. Into your soul.
He came and greeted me. What he did was both unremarkable and incredibly. He uttered but a few words, but the wave of energy I felt from this man was incredible. It was beyond anything I thought was actually possible. But there it was. I felt it
I was actually just chatting with someone else I knew. Steve greeted both of us one by one, then moved on.
The other person turned to me straight afterwards.
‘Did you feel that?’
I did. He did too. We all did.
But perhaps this man was privileged enough to get this far in life.The book, The Ultimate Coach, is about his life. No, this was a man with a difficult upbringing. Poverty. Single mother. Marital problems. It was possible for him. It’s possible for anyone.
The greatness comes from the work we do upon ourselves. When we can stare eye to eye with the deepest darkest parts of our souls, that is how we transcend.
It is when we have done this work that we are ready to truly change the world. The great people of history attained this level of transcension. You can too.
But such grandiose ideas seem far-fetched, right?
I get it, particularly when you may be feeling tired, stuck and overwhelmed right now.
But these are life’s challenges. The way we respond to these challenges are what make us grow. Each moment is a chance to either hone ourselves for something greater, or to retreat into comfortable misery.
I’m seeing a lot of positive momentum flow into my life right now. Along with a sense of quiet content, I’m seeing the world respond too. I’m seeing ever-improving gym results and seeing fun opportunities to do new projects. I’m currently two sessions into interviewing my dad to write his life’s biography.
This sudden burst of energy is not a coincidence. I had to do a lot of deep work on myself. It took a long time. Some of it was uncomfortable. Some of it was extremely painful.
But when we do this work, life responds and rewards us. This is Dhamma, the Universal Law of Nature. Once you start to see it, you will see it everywhere in your life.
If you want to change the world, let’s speak. I can bring you from where you’re at now to a massively increased impact in the world.
