No Assembly Required

“If a man has any greatness in him, it comes to light, not in one flamboyant hour, but in the ledger of his daily work.” - Beryl Markham

I have been watching....watching some people I admire greatly and have come to the realization that greatness is found in everyday actions. I think most of us believe that it is complicated and there is a lot of building of strategies, plans, or a magic formula for us to make a difference or be successful.

Being a positive force is more than what we do periodically. It’s how life is lived. It’s doing the right thing and doing it well. Over time, these small things become a part of who we are.

True leadership lies in actions, but also in the strength behind even the smallest of actions. 

I am learning not to wait for that grand opportunity before I stretch my potential to make a difference but to work each day on what I can do.

It is a simple but powerful guideline proven by great and successful people and good news there is no assembly required.
