 Chaos & Order

You're Already Great Your whole existence is an incredible event. There is no one like you. A snowflake is white, elegantly fashioned with angles of ice where no two are alike, but it is uncomplicated in its beauty. You are great in all your physical, emotional and intellectual beauty. The snowflake melts in your presence. So how do we show the world that we are great? A tulip bulb in the spring conceals the flower inside. The sun coaxes the beautiful petals to reveal themselves for all to see. 
The sunshine that will coax out the petals of your greatness are three fold: the first is the idea, the second is the will and the third is the discipline. In order to be great, it is important to decide the domain in which to unveil this greatness. Projecting an ideal of yourself as an objective to attain and a goal to which you aspire is the beginning. It is called "the dream". All individual and national greatness begins with a dream. The second element of attaining greatness is the willingness to perfect your craft and to take the steps to work hard at releasing the statue hidden inside the stone. That work of art concealed in rock must be revealed by daily minute work that slices away the superfluous stone until the statue is revealed. All those before us who have been great have worked extremely hard at attaining this greatness. Finally, discipline is required to continuously practice that which we consider to be the domain of our greatness. Discipline is the art of quieting the word "no" in our heads that tries to tell us that we are wasting our time or that we are not good enough. Everyone has the "no" voice and everyone is able to silence that dissuading cry. Discipline means practising that task in which we aspire to greatness even when the "no" voice screams at us until we are almost deaf. YOU ARE GREAT! Let the sunshine of dreams, will and discipline shine on you so that your greatness may bloom for all to see. Until next month,
Roger
