Greatness in Others

"One of the marks of true greatness is the ability to develop greatness in others."

J.C. Macauley - Author

Have you ever observed the manner in which someone imparts their knowledge to another? Do they take great care in communicating, breaking down into small steps, teaching with enthusiasm and making that person feel important? Do they convey a strong belief and faith in the student's abilities? Greatness in one begets greatness in others. How beautiful to live ones life by instilling worth and value in another human being to the point that it brings out the greatness in the receiving person.

Crisis are blessings

"No matter how bad someone has it, there are others who have it worse. Remembering that makes life a lot easier and allows you to take pleasure in the blessings you have been given."

Lou Holtz - American Sportscaster

Job loss brings flexibility. Medical issues invite faith and dependency, car problems encourage ingenuity, and the passing away of a loved one calls for the rallying of a strong support system. The greater the crisis or situation, the more intense the opportunity for huge blessings to abound. Be on the lookout for the blessings in each situation. Peace and comfort can be found in the blessings if one chooses to see them. Many people live in the fog of life, never noticing the blessings before them. Will you find the blessings or the crisis?
