Greatness is a road where there is very little traffic. Many hear the sound of it and say that it is the way for them. Many never get on the path and the majority of those that do take the first exit after they come to know what is really required. In order to be great, there must be something about you that really sets you aside from all the rest. One key component of greatness is surviving adversity, no , it is even more than surviving it. It is the ability to go through it with the understanding that it, adversity, is the main ingredient. You see, greatness demands that we have something to share that is uncommon when we get there. Without having to go through something that brings extreme pressure to the table, greatness will never be forged in our lives. The adversity, whatever it is must be embarrassed while passing through it, knowing that without it you will never reach your destination. I good attitude is imperative. Without  it, one would be likely to exit the path or miss the point all together. I can say that I really understand why so many exit the path or never really get started. It is a lonely road where extreme exercise techniques are required multiple times a day. Exercising your faith, training your mind to think in the direction of your destiny, responding appropriately to the negative voices that illegally invade your space, and purposely feeding yourself healthy words and images. Greatness does not demand perfection. Perfect people have not learned anything, and therefore cannot lead others. As for me, I am not perfect, and when I look around me and see my family and the pain in our communities, I can not exit the path. I can not give up. Those that desire greatness must endure the hardness of it. Soon we will be in a place that will allow the details of the path to be told, and those that hear it will be encouraged within themselves to a better example to others. Some may even decide to journey the path to greatness. Greatness, it’s in us all, but not all are willing.
