Achievable Greatness(11)

Greatness is achievable by anybody who is willing to work for it. Benjamin Franklin said “I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.”
To be truly great I believe that you need to be a man or woman of God. . “God prepares great men for great tasks by great trials.” ~ John Baptiste Gressett. A character refined in the Refiner’s fire is necessary. To be truly great you must forget about yourself and your desire to be great. “If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both.” ~ Horace Mann
Seek for truth in the book of wisdom, the Bible.
Here’s a quote I really like. “If you can’t do great things: do small things in a great way.” J.F. Clarke. It doesn’t matter who you are you can do great things in a great way or small things in a great way.
