Everyday Greatness

I can watch this video over and over again.  I love every word that is uttered in this video, but I am most fascinated with the words of Muhammed Ali.   He eloquently told every single person that doubted him when he fought George Foreman in 1972 that he was going to show them just how great he was, and he did.

Aren't those some powerful words...."I'm going to show you how great I am."

To say those words with such sincerity and confidence.  To say those words and believe them.  To say those words and believe in yourself so much that the challenge you face excites you because you know it is an opportunity for you to show the world how great you are.

But your opportunity to show your greatness does not happen on the world stage or in front of thousands, your opportunity to show your greatness happens everyday.  It shows when you take care of your family.  When you use your calm voice when your children are asking you three thousand questions.  When you workout when you would rather just lay on the couch.  When you run instead of walk.  When you listen to the voice of belief instead of the voice of doubt and take another step towards your dream.

Everyday you get the chance to show the world how great you are; and if you are honest with yourself, you do, every single day.
