THE GREATNESS OF RESILIENCE

SHAPES AND SIZES OF GREATNESS

Have You achieved Greatness? What does Being Great Look Like? Who gets to decide What Greatness Is?

To some people they see Greatness as a Huge Mansion and an 8-Figure Bank Account… Others find Greatness in their relationship with God… I have Personally seen Greatness in Parenting… and Experienced Greatness first hand!

In the Dictionary Greatness is defined as “The quality of being great, distinguished, or iminent.”

In The Bible Greatness is Defined, not by how much money, power or Influence someone had, Greatness was always given to the One who was a Servant.

Although these 2 Definitions are a bit Contradictory I believe both to be True…

You see, depending on your own Personal beliefs and these 2 Definitions above, Greatness could realistically have a million different meanings…  In my Personal experience Greatness is a Shape Shifter, it comes in many different forms.

We have all seen Greatness before…

Greatness can be found in your Favorite Artist performing 30 Shows In 30 Nights through 10 Countries…When that Artist walks on Stage and you feel the Goosebumps as they begin Performing, That’s GREATNESS!

Greatness is also in the Stay-At-Home Soccer Mom Getting 3 Kids Up in the Morning, Educated, to Practices On-Time, showered, Fed and in Bed, Then waking up Joyful Tomorrow to do it all over again… Especially when you consider there are 2.3 million homes in America that have Single Fathers living with their Children! So, you know that Stay-At-Home Soccer Mom raising her Children and Nurturing her Marriage with Joy, That’s GREATNESS!

Greatness is that Person who has decided, against all odds, to take on the Challenge of Online Affiliate Marketing without any prior knowledge or experience and finds Success, Now That’s GREATNESS!

Greatness isn’t a Destination or an Obtainable Skill, It is not Defined by Money or Status…

GREATNESS IS A WAY OF LIFE! GREATNESS IS DEFINED BY YOUR DAILY ATTITUDES AND ACTIONS!

ARE YOU HEARING WHAT I’M SAYING??!! Let me say it one more Time for The People in the Back Row…

Greatness IS NOT a Destination or an Obtainable Skill, It IS NOT Defined by Money or Status…

GREATNESS IS A WAY OF LIFE! GREATNESS IS DEFINED BY YOUR DAILY ATTITUDES AND ACTIONS!

 

ACHIEVING GREATNESS

With all that being said, we know What Greatness looks like and how to recognize it in other People…

So the True Question is… HOW Did They Achieve Greatness?   

With Millions of Broke and Starving Aspiring Musicians in The World, what makes Your Favorite Artist different? How does that Soccer Mom deal with The Stresses of Marriage and Parenting while 40-50% 0f First and 60-70% of Second Marriages End in Divorce? And how do you Succeed at something you have no Experience or Knowledge of?

To answer this Question we gotta Get Back To THE TRAITS OF THE GREATS!

For anyone who is Confident enough to accept the Challenge of Accomplishing their Dreams and Desires, it’s an Unforgiving and Uncharted Path… After all there is only One YOU, no one can prepare you for what Your Personal journey will Entail.

There will be Great days, Full of new Wins and Successes… And there will inevitably be the tough days where Eveything feels Hopeless and unattainable, the days your just ready to throw in the Towel… And just when you think it can’t get any worse, Life Pushes you down and Kicks you in the Face with another Challenge.

In these Moments, when no one is around to give you Advice or Guidance on what the next step is, when you start to lose your Drive and things just seem Hopeless, It becomes very easy to Give In and Give Up… And Unfortunately, this is where the Hopes and Dreams of the masses are left to Die. Most people just don’t have what it takes to make it past this point, and they aren’t willing to Sacrifice in order to keep going, so they Quit…

How about those Select Few? the ones that make it through to the Other Side of Fear and Failure?

Those People have managed to Master one of the Most Important Traits of the Greats… RESILIENCE!!

 

RESILIENCE – The Capacity to withstand or Recover Quickly from Difficulties

Resilience People! This is One of the Biggest Keys to Fulfilling Your Wildest Dreams, overcoming the Inevitable Pitfalls and Pains of Life and finding the Greatness contained within yourself!

Resilience shines a light on the Version of yourself that never learned about Fear and Failure, therefore had no Fear OF Failure…

I Believe none of us are born with Fear… Fear is a learned Emotion, and that Emotion creates an Action or Inaction. For Example, If a Bear is charging at you Fear takes over and makes you run away as fast as possible, and if someone is Fearful of Bees and a Bee is flying nearby most people tend to Freeze and stand still … But, how do you know Bears or Bees are dangerous? Chances are you saw a Wildlife show or have experienced someone being stung by a Bee in the Past. either way you Learned to have that Fear, you weren’t born with it.

When a Baby is attempting their First Steps and fall on their butt or to their knees, they dont stop trying to walk because they are Afraid of Failure do They? Of course not, they’re Resilient! they get right back up and do it again!

Resilience is instilled in all Humans from Birth, it is one of the Great Gifts God Blessed us with, along with Free Will and Freedom of Thought. No one can Think your Thoughts for you and No one can make you act against your own Will. We can discuss those 2 gifts more later, for now Let’s Focus our attention on RESILIENCE.

 

PROGRESSION SESSION TIME

As I carry on my Mission of Obtaining Affiliate Marketing Success I continue experiencing new moments that challenge my Will Power and Self Confidence. As a Complete Beginner in the Field of Online Business and Marketing the learning curve is about the size of The Equator, and it seems there is a New setback or new hurdle to leap everyday. Some days I Honestly wonder if it’s just not meant to be… These are Defining Moments.

PROGRESS or REGRESS

In these Moments of doubt I allow Negative Thoughts to creep in and start attacking My Will and My Self Confidence… I Allow the Negativity to Creep into my Life and get comfortable. In order to Combat the Negativity I Must Master the RESILIENCE Trait! I need to take Deliberate Daily actions, big and small, to ensure I am strengthening my Mental Fortitude with Positivity and Progress. Resilience is going to require a Willingness to Challenge myself in moments of Dissolution, Confusion and Despair.

In the last 6 to 9 Months I have watched Countless hours of Youtube videos and Listened to Episode after Episode of Business, Personal Development, Online Marketing and Affiliate Marketing Podcasts. I began Reading books Like “YOU OWE YOU” By: Dr. Eric Thomas, “The Iceberg Effect” By: Dean Holland and “(un)Selling” By: Kevin Casey. I started waking up earlier in an effort to gain more Production in my 24 Hours. I am Taking Deliberate Actions to promote and create new Habits and Routines that will be the Foundation of my Future Self, and that sense of Accomplishment will ensure I have the Will Power and Self Confidence to be RESILIENT in any Environment and through any Situation that may arise.

 

CONCLUSION

There isn’t one sentence that can Define Greatness… But when Greatness comes around it is Undeniably Apparent because Greatness creates an Energy that is Intoxicating and Contagious! Anyone Blessed enough to be in the Presence of Greatness at some point in their Life is guaranteed to be Inspired and Motivated… and if your Lucky enough to be one of The Greats that have Mastered the RESILIENCE Trait, then I challenge you to Inspire that same Greatness and Resilience in another Human and ensure the TRAITS OF THE GREATS live on and Positively Impact the Future of our Children and Grandchildren!
