Discover Your Greatness

Each and every single one of us has a special greatness within us.  It’s that fire within us that gets lit when we’re in line with our higher purpose, doing the things that we are specially created to do.

This greatness can be found when you embrace your true self 100% and let go of self judgement.  When you allow yourself to be exactly who you are. Then your job is to discover what it is that you’re great at. Let go of your everyday filters and ask yourself these questions:

What do you love?

What do you love to do?

Who do you love doing things for?

What things completely light you up?

What could you talk about for hours?

What do you do that completely engrosses your attention?

When does time seem to fly by?

The more honest you are with yourself, the more beneficial these answers will be to you.  I wish I could answer these questions for you and give them to you on a silver plate, but the truth is that only you can know what your greatness is.  It is deeply personal.  I can give you a hint though.  The more you search inside yourself, you will keep coming across something or things that your heart says, “YES!”  Listen for that yes.  It will feel like excitement and release wrapped up into one.

Another clue.  What was the first thing that came into your mind when I asked you the questions above? Our minds are so powerful, they often have the answers we are looking for, but we don’t realize it because it’s too simple or it came too easy.  Truth is truth. Give yourself permission to accept what comes up.

Now that you’ve discovered your greatness, it’s not going to do you any good if you do nothing with it. As you use and practice what you’re great at, you become even better at it. So it comes down to two questions:

What are you trying to be good at that you don’t really care for? Where can you free up time, energy, or money and channel these resources into where you truly are great and want to be great? There’s this myth that we need to be well rounded individuals, but the truth is that the more we spread out our precious resources of time, energy, and money, the more diluted our passion becomes.

How can you share your greatness? You can’t truly own something until you’ve given it away.  How can you give away what you’re great at? Whether that’s helping others learn what it is you love, creating and selling things you love to make, giving advice, etc… To be truly great at something, we can’t just keep it to ourselves.  We must give from the depths of our hearts.

Now it’s your turn!  In the comments below, tell me what your greatness is and for bonus points how you can share your greatness.
