I believe we are all seeded for greatness in various things. Most likely that seed is seldom watered and or we ourselves talk ourselves out of said greatness by thinking we aren't good enough or listening to the liars who said we weren't. I have learned that greatness, actually anything above the norm in anything, will require risk and deep diving into the unknown. Comfort is often times an enemy and we stick to the familiar when just on the other side of the door (which is usually fear) is the treasure trove we were mining all along.
Words and thoughts are powerful. What are you allowing into the soil of your life? What is your self talk? What are you thinking? Is it success or creativity or are fear and negativity at the forefront? Society is very good at boxing people in and labeling them in addition to discouraging them (often times without even realizing it).
Your passion is tied into your talent in most instances and a person must be willing to push on those things and see what opens and expands in those areas. As you do, things form and take shape and you begin finding your way or niche so to speak and that is where you are at your best. Accepting that and being ok with whatever that is is vitally important because it is easy for us to talk ourselves out of things.
The seed form is there yet it most likely takes something or somebody (Maybe both or more) to nurture and develop that talent and push the buttons and stretch the person to extract things. It can be done on your own but I find in most cases having that mentor or resource available to nurture is crucial.
Where we are at as a society doesn't really produce that like it once did. We have gotten comfortable with convenience and a now mentality. This stuff takes time and consistency in most instances. There are less mentors today. Less apprentices today and that kind of thing hurts us IMO. When one can impart what they have into somebody else and help guide and develop that person(s) and push them further down their path it is a wonderful thing. The buy in has to be there and you have to be willing to go for it. You are the best you in the world. Nobody can do what you can do better than you. That is the truth yet so few believe that and to me, that is the first hurdle to overcome.
In Summary,
1) You are born for greatness
2) You are seeded for greatness
3) Greatness resides within you now
4) Everything you will ever need in seed form is within you right now
5) You have to see the vision/dream and believe it or buy into it and begin
6) Having the encouragement, mentorship, nurturing along the way is vital
7) Every move is educational and valuable in your journey, especially the mistakes
8) Do Not Discouraged
9) Do Not Quit
10) Be willing to give what you have away and you will continue growing. Seed time/harvest time.
