4 Important Tips That Will Help You Find Your Greatness

Published

how to find what you are good at

As I speak with people around the world, I am constantly asked one question. What does it take to be successful? I can rest assured that this question is going to come up no matter what audience I am speaking to. I believe we are in the era of empowerment. People are searching and on a desperate quest to discover their true purpose.

A lot of factors go into creating a successful life. However, the first place you have to start is with your thoughts. Your moments cannot create what your mind cannot conceive. Until you shift your paradigm you will never see what is truly possible for your life. We are all called to greatness but very few will pay the cost to produce a life of greatness.

Here are 4 tips to figure out what your greatness is:

1. Define what success means to you

One of the main reasons that so many people are not experiencing success is because they do not really know what success is. While I could offer you many definitions, success is essentially having the resources you need to reach your full potential in life.

Notice that I did not say that success was having a big house or a luxury car. Those are the products of success but success is not things. Success is the fulfillment of purpose and the maximization of your potential. Success is not about what we accumulate but what we add to the world.

We are all called to greatness. However, when you allow others to define your success, you discount the special gift that you have been given to bless the world. Stop viewing success only in terms of financial gain and see it as the opportunity to fill a gap in the world.

“Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals.” – Deepak Chopra

2. You have to stop making excuses for your life

Do you really want to succeed? Then you have stop making excuses for your life. Excuses are the lies we tell ourselves for why we cannot live a better life. Excuses are the fortresses we build in our minds that engineer our failure.

What if the only thing that stood between you and your future were excuses? The same energy you put into making excuses for why you are not further in life can be used to engineer the life of your dreams. In fact, dreams manifest at the intersection of excuses and expectations.

Different results require different reasons. You only need one reason to revolutionize your life. If you live a lifetime of making excuses, your dreams will ultimately become extinct. Excuses temporarily relieve the pain of confronting our choices. However, expectations force us to take accountability for our actions and align us to achieve greatness in life.

 

3. Rewrite the story of your life

One of the great joys of my life is empowering people around the world to reach their full potential. I have seen so many people triumph over tragedies and overcome opposition. However, before you can experience big breakthroughs you have to look at your internal programming. What do I mean when I say internal programming?

I am talking about the story that you keep telling yourself. Most of the stories that we create for our lives are stories of defeat and disfunction. When our internal programming is off we perceive ourselves as victims and we script defeat for our lives. On the other hand, when you have a paradigm shift it changes your internal programming. As your thinking changes you script stories of victory and triumph for your life.

The story you are creating is scripted by your perception of the conditions of your life. The conditions of your life will either endanger your potential or expose your power. When you can view the conditions of your life as a catalyst to change, you break cycles and create new chapters in the story of your life.

 

4. You have to live with intention

I know what it is like to have a dream and to feel like it is dying right before your eyes. I know what it is like to see a business that you have worked so hard to build, collapsing no matter how hard you work to save it. At the same time, I know what it is like to bounce back from setbacks and not be defined by disappointments. Years later I am a successful entrepreneur and highly respected thought leader. How did I get here?

I owe a lot of my success to the power of intention. Years ago I lived life without a clear plan or direction. I felt like I was living life in a maze. Then I had a powerful moment of awareness where I realized that I needed to live with a mission. In fact, I decided to break that mission into small daily action steps.

Those action steps were intentions. Guess what? The decision to take these small daily action steps toward a bigger mission completely changed my life. All of a sudden unexpected resources showed up. Incredible new relationships started to blossom in my life. My intentions ultimately became my reality.

“You feel good not because the world is right, but your world is right because you feel good.” – Wayne W. Dyer

When you have a paradigm shift, couple faith with expectation, and live with clear intentions you inevitably arrive at a place of success. Stop looking for a formula for success and set clear intentions for your life. When you act with intention anything is possible.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be. 

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time. 

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
