Be Great (You Are . . . )

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them. – Washington Irving

Every moment we have a choice: to learn and grow or to resist and decay.

We can be passive and at the mercy of circumstance or we can be active and create our lives.

It all starts in our mind.

What we think becomes what we believe and what we believe we become.

We are always at choice: either, be great and use things to our (loving) advantage, or be small and a victim of circumstance

You are great, if you believe it.
