On Greatness


Greatness isn’t a path taken often. 
It’s not an easy route or else most people would have take that route and it would lose it’s novelty. 
Greatness isn’t achieved overnight and neither does it come without a steep price tag. 
That price tag could be people who you believe were your friends, could be your family, could be sleep, could be money (it takes money to make money), could be peace of mind or anything else.
Greatness doesn’t come to those who don’t prioritize it neither does it come to those that don't plan
It doesn’t come to those who don’t want it more than anything else at that time. 
It doesn’t doesn’t bend at your will but rather, you bend at its will before it submits itself
Greatness is dedication. 
It’s persistence. 
It’s compromise, even sacrifice. 
Greatness is hard work. 
It’s long work. 
It’s the work most people don’t want to do. 
Of those who do it, most won’t be doing it long enough to see it bear fruit. 
Therefore, greatness demands persistence. 
Greatness comes at a price which is non-negotiable. Meeting it halfway is non-existent
It’s a take it or leave it terms and conditions. 
Greatness is a consistent act that doesn’t take breaks. 
Greatness is available to all but is only achieved by a select few who decide to go for it.
