As a trainer, “GO BE GREAT” were the last words I spoke to each student on their final day of training. Those words have become the mantra for all who pass through that training course. Why are those words so meaningful and powerful? Because the words “GO BE GREAT” encourage you to…
Chart Your Own Course
Each day we wake up, we’re offered a fresh opportunity to chart our course. When our eyes fly open and our feet hit the floor, we have a new day with new mercies and grace—another chance to get it right. We have a chance to go be great. “Go be great” is not just a cute saying; it is a call to action. It encourages us to seize the opportunity to make a difference, especially in the lives of others. By adopting this mindset, we can show up as a positive force, determined to chart our own course and impact others.
Recognize Your Potential
Greatness is not set aside for a particular age, race, or gender; it lies within all of us. Recognizing your potential is the first step towards achieving greatness. When you recognize your potential, you identify and understand what makes you unique—your strengths, talents, passions, and gifts. If you consciously reflect on what ignites your passion and what you excel in, you intentionally tap into your greatness.
Embrace Challenges
Challenges are not obstacles; they are opportunities that may initially appear as obstacles. Embracing challenges builds strength and character. When you face perceived difficulties, change your perspective and view them as learning experiences. Always ask yourself, “What can I learn from this?” and “How can this make me stronger?” Embracing and overcoming challenges is key to achieving greatness.
Inspire Others
Part of being great is seeking out and inspiring greatness in others. By intentionally sharing your journey, encouraging those around you, and being a source of positivity and support, you can tap into the greatness in others. Your actions and attitude can motivate others to pursue and share their greatness. This creates a ripple effect where greatness inspires greatness.
Practice Gratitude and Humility
In your quest for greatness, it’s important to stay rooted in humility and grounded in gratitude. Expressing gratitude for the opportunities, experiences, and people who support your journey maintains your humanity. Humility allows you to recognize that greatness is not about being better than the next person; it’s about being the best version of yourself.
"Go be great" is more than a motivational slogan; it’s a way of life. It’s about waking up each day with a determination to make a positive impact, to grow, to overcome, to learn, and to inspire. Greatness is not a destination but a continuous journey with an opportunity to uplift others. So, go be great today and every day!
- Awesome Life for All
