Answering The Call To Greatness

Greatness! This is not a function of circumstance but rather a matter of conscious choice! We can become great if we are interested. Greatness is all about producing extraordinary results in all that we do. It is laying down our lives for the true cause we believe in.

The journey of greatness requires us to have the right people in our circles in addition to being humble. This is a process that calls for the “crawl, walk and run” approaches to life. It also necessitates that we move past the fear and take action.

Greatness is also motivated by deeper creative needs and yearnings for excellence; and not fear. It involves giving up something good for something better.

Having a great life also necessitates that we spend lots of our time doing the things we are passionate about. We need to majorly focus on the things we ably do better than other people even when we are not necessarily living in a great environment; all we can do is keep applying the fundamental principles that lead us to greatness.

Jim Collins in his book, Good to great; encourages us to know the right thing, have the discipline to do it and equally stop doing the wrong thing if we are to move from a mediocre life to greatness. He also says that we cannot remain laggards and hope to be great.

At Kyusa, we put great emphasis on building a culture of greatness within our staff and the change agents. We not only produce the best change agents but also work towards bringing out the best from them through our trainings and enriched curriculum. We also invest a lot in bringing them to a point where they discover their seeds of greatness that is their gifts, creative ideas and talents; and walk with them onto the journey of cultivating these seeds.

It is on this note that I encourage us to put all our efforts together towards helping the youth find their voices and encourage them to help others find theirs too.

Let’s live life to its fullest and die empty!
