Obtaining Greatness

When it comes to your self, do you feel you're as good as it gets or do you believe you can become greater?  I am of the mentality that we are truly never as great as we can be but we can increase greatness if we are able to work through all of the things about our self that aren't so great.  We know our own strengths and weaknesses, yet often we ignore what is wrong and wonder why nothing changes in our life.  Have you tried to improve any of your weaknesses or are you looking for someone to fix them for you?  You can receive help working through your weaknesses and the things you want to change but no one else can do them for you.  When we are able to recognize the weaknesses and the roots of their existence, we are able to begin developing greatness within.  Some people are either too afraid, close minded or maybe lack deeper self awareness on their own to achieve the greatness within themselves.  Obtaining greatness takes faith in the unknown and a willingness to be vulnerable.  Life is about being able to open yourself up to something greater.  What's keeping you from opening yourself up?
