How to Discover Your GreatnessHow do you discover your greatness? The answer is simple, just never give up. How does that grab you. I am not kidding! People spend hundreds of dollars on trying to enhance and improve their lives. Everybody is trying to find out how to capture the golden ring of success. I realized the secret to capturing success just today! You know how I find out? I was watching Ted Turner being interviewed on CNN. He is doing interviews inorder to sell his new book, Call Me Ted. Most people know Ted Turner as an incredible successful businessman. I mean, like you would think this guy breathes success. So how do you discover your greatness? If you listen to him talk or read his book, you soon will realize he puts his pants on just like the rest of us. Then what makes Ted Turner different? Quite simply, he never gives up. Once Mr. Turner commits himself to a project, he sticks with it. He hangs in there. In another words, this guy is in the game for the long haul. Initially, many projects Ted began were met with all kinds of mistakes, setbacks and failures. But unlike most of us who start things and get all kinds of disappointments and subsequently quit. We stop dead in our tracks and “Gee I made a terrible mistake. I am getting out of here.” Not Ted Turner. There is no “quit” inside this guy. This is how you discover your greatness. He takes it on the chin, revamps his strategy, and then gives it another shot…and another shot, and another. He keeps going brothers and sisters. I readily recognized this winner’s trait. Why? The answer is simple. Because I have or am guilty of allowing setbacks and failures get to me in a very negative way. My ego and Mr. Fear gang up on me and talk me into becoming a quiter or running away from a seemingly loosing proposition. Does this all have a familiar sound to it? Fear Management It should. Most of the human race act the same way. We think when we go into something new that divine providence is leading us on the way. And then when reality and adversity gives us a visit, we run away like rats on a sinking ship. No wonder very few of us really find or realize success or personal growth. The simple truth is we never give ourselves a chance. It takes awhile to find out who the real players are, what the rules of the game our, and most importantly, what works and doesn’t work. Simply put, you have to give yourself some time to discover what best works for you in any worthwhile project or activity.Coinciding with our natural aversion to setbacks and things not going right, is the ever demanding accusations and threats we get from our ego and Mr. Fear. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I am talking about. I know you do. Most of us are just alike in this regard. We let adversity threaten our self-esteem and self-worth. Here we are, way out on the limb of our Comfort Zone. Most of us our scarred to death we are going to fail. It doesn’t help that Mr. Fear, our life long partner, is screaming at us to "quite, run away and get out of that project". He really doesn't want us to discover our greatness. Not Ted Turner. I suspect his father beat the word “quit” right out of him when he was a youngster. No sir. Mr. Turner was one young very motivated man. I would compare his motivation to my experience in the Marine Corps. You learn very early on in Boot Camp, that it is more important and wise to fear and obey your superiors then it is to fear the enemy or danger. Most Marines would rather jump through glass or jump into a fire before they would want to disappoint or disobey their superiors or commanding officers. Next time you begin a new project or activity, do yourself a favor. Give yourself a break for goodness sake. Discover your greatness. Don’t backoff or pull out of an activity just because it appears difficult. Give yourself some time to figure things out. You may just be the person to handle the problem you have run into. Learning to relax and give yourself some slack in the face of adversity is what is called Fear Management. This is the way you personally grow. This is the way you expand your self-image. This is the way you get to be in the Drivers Seat. And guess what? You have Mr. Fear working for you rather then you taking your orders from him. This is how you discover your greatness.Cheers to Mr. Ted Turner. Good luck with your new book “Call Me Ted”.
