November 19, 2025- Return to greatness

Be proud of yourself for having the honesty and courage to grow and change, rather than trying to “fix” yourself from a position of desperation, shame, or impatience.

~Nick Trenton

There is goodness within each of us. We do not need to create it; we need to expose it. We are not broken. We are not hopeless. We are not destined to experience constant hardship as we battle against fate.

Are we already living the lives we most want to live? Probably not. Lucky for us, we dare to dream of something better. Lucky for us, we have the discipline to align our actions with our intentions. Lucky for us, we have the grace to forgive ourselves when we stray. Lucky for us, we have the reflection to acknowledge our mistakes and our success, to repeat what worked and change what didn’t. Lucky for us, we have the resilience to try more times than we fail.

When we focus on gratitude for what we have and what we are, more than what we lack or what we have failed to create, we work from a place of power and abundance. We start to believe in our ability to engineer our lives to match our dreams. We realize that greatness is already found within us, and we just need to cultivate our relationship with those parts of ourselves, so that we might return to greatness again and again.
