Step into greatness
A good mentor has more faith in you than you have in yourself. A great mentor guides you down a path to realize that potential on your own.
All my life I've been blessed with these mentors, but I've been cheating myself out of greatness. While they told me I'm great, I told myself I was OK. While they said, "Look what you accomplished," I said, "Yea but that wasn't really me."
I won’t make a sweeping declaration to stop these thoughts. It's simply human nature to think this way. I will, however, make a concerted effort to step into greatness, because an exceptional mentor said to me,
"This is life. What are you waiting for?"
Maybe for the stars to align or a splurge of delusion and sense of self grandeur to wash away my fears. But moments like that rarely come in life.
They say luck happens when we are in the right place and the right time. Most of us think place is the one we can control and time is luck's sibling.
I'm starting to realize that we can choose time. Choose this moment to dive into the fear that immobilizes you. Stomach the anxiety that curls you into fetal position. Give in to the momentum that robs you of a solid foundation, because when you come out the other side, there it will be. The greatness your mentors instilled in you.
We must choose time.
