You know … you never really know when inspiration
is going to strike.  It just struck me on the toilet at
Starbucks.  No lie.  As I was sitting there meditating
on life (which I pretty much do non-stop), I realized
something very important ….

You were born to be great.

Think about that for a second.  Don’t just be like,
"duh."  I’ll repeat it for you.

You were born to be great.

Everyone was.  You were.  I was.  Your mom was.
Me and your mom were.  Everyone.

The key to you being as great as the king of Saudi
Arabia is this …

Find out who you are.

"A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him
before great men.

 - Proverbs 18:16

You were brought into this world with special inborn
gifts/talents that God would like for you to discover
and use. 

And he would like for you to do this for several
reasons …

1.  the world needs them
2.  operating within your gifts will bring you joy
3.  it will provide you the passion necessary to bring
you success and thereby provide for your family and
other people
4.  so Lady Ga Ga will stop it

You were born to be great.

If everyone on earth would just do this one thing, we
would be like a bajillion steps closer to utopia if utopia
was even possible (which it’s not unfortunately). 

You discover your gifts by proactively trying different
things and paying attention to the feedback that life
gives you.
