Becoming great

Posted on May 13, 2011 by schnurrpfeifer

You don’t become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.

Trust, and it will make all the difference

With “dots” Steve refers to the moments that mark the way your life goes.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something, your god, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow you heart even when it leads you off the well worn path. and that will make all the difference.
