Greatness is not reserved for a select few. But most of the time, it is but a few who believe they are great and live their lives accordingly. So what happened to the rest of the human race? Has mediocrity become acceptable? Is it too much work to live up to the expectations of our Creator or Source?
I believe most people just don’t realize that there is more to life than working at a job, loving their family and friends, finding the love of their life and taking vacations. (This is not meant to be belittling, merely a personal observation.)
Was this part of our design structure? I don’t know. But what I do know is that we were also designed to transform and transcend into something more than what we started as. Case in point, once a person gets that first taste of something outside the norm that makes their heart skip a beat, they are hooked. They want more. Then they realize that they are capable of more. Then they see how others are affected by their transformation. Eventually, being more than (greatness), they step in completely and are transcended.
We are such a multi-faceted race that it only requires a spark to ignite the rest of our creativity and curiosity. So knowing this, we should expose ourselves to the unknown and the things we do not understand. For only out of discovery, do we allow the specialness inside us to grow and flourish.
My challenge to you is to find experiences and activities that you hesitate to do and try them. Explore the caverns of mystery that surround you and become the person you were destined to be…a person of Greatness who ascends to greater heights because you know that there no limits to who you can become.
Love and Blessings,
Dina Marie Blas

Superb blog post about transcending and transforming. When people are in that status-quo place- often the best shakeup is to do anything that you have been putting off due to fear or even plain old procrastination
Sheri,
So glad you liked the post. And yes, we need to stir the pot every time we get too comfortable. Its the way I live my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Blessings,
Dina

Now there is a quote, Dina! Nice.
It is a great quote, isn’t it? Thank you for pointing that out. 🙂
One certainly hopes they are not living a life of mediocrity, that’s for sure, Dina!

Carrie,
Thank you for stopping by! Much appreciated.

Well, this was a good read for me today! These past several months I have been working on taking chances and going outside of my comfort zone because I believe, as you said, we are all meat to grow/improve from our beginnings and progress towards something better…within ourselves not necessarily in a material way. Service to our community, our extended world, etc. nearly always produces a better person. 🙂
Stopping by from UBC!
