    noiz viol8ion blog #811 – Good vs Great Life

    When living life it is easy to get caught up planning for the worst. It’s better to take the safe route. Go with the safe job. Do not rock the boat because people will get upset. Avoid conflict and not disturb the status quo. Just keep doing what I have been doing because things are good.

    People will sacrifice their happiness for security. Instead of thriving and living their dreams they will settle for good enough.

    Good is the enemy of Great

    Jim Collins

    When we get good sometimes that is good enough. There is another level called GREAT. When we get great it fills the the gap that something is missing. You know when you find great because you stop looking for anything else.

    A good life will have regrets and a great life will have none.

    Average is an attainable goal. No one starts out average it takes work to be able to be lumped into the category of average. Who is the average employee? Who is the average singer? Who is the average person? These people have talent. In the sameness of average comes greatness. If the goal is to do something average then sometimes it will be better and sometimes it will be worse. There is no shame in average.

    Blog #250 – The Formula for Greatness

    Greatness is consistency over a long period of time.

    In Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, Angela Duckworth describes success as:

    Talent * Effort = Skill ==========> Skill * Effort = Success/Greatness

    If you notice EFFORT counts twice as you are trying to reach the pinnacle of success. Through Effort (practice and repetition) you will get better and the reward will get greater.

    Blog #192 – Surround Yourself with Greatness and you will become Great

    You will absorb the qualities of the people around you so make sure the people around you have outstanding qualities that you want. Carefully analyze qualities you want in yourself. If you want to be more social, courageous, athletic, wealthy, healthy, or loving. Look for these qualities in others. Look at what they are doing and try to copy them and develop these qualities yourself. Look at what they are doing that you don’t like and avoid doing those things.

    Seek and you shall find.

    What are you looking for?

    If you start looking for greatness you will find it. If you look for sadness you will find it. If you look for to better yourself then you will find ways.
