EP. 12: University of Greatness - An Average Life is not good Enough, A Great Life is Worth Living
Someone asked me; why want a great and successful life? I answered, Because of my mind. A desire for an average life is a product of an average mind and desire for a great a life is a product of a great mind. I continued......
Why settle for less when you can have more?
Why limit yourself, when you can be unlimited?
Why seek for penny when you can have many?
Why want an average life when you can have a great life?
Life will be meaningless if we can’t explore all the good things it has in store for us, if we continue to carry a small mind, we see a small world where succeeding is preserved for a handy few (that have a large mind and see a big world).
Greatness is a function of living life to the fullest in our own way by not getting in our own way.
Survival is insufficient; there is more to life than merely surviving the day and the next day. If I earn a living, I will survive and have an average life just like everyone but if I help many other people earn a living, I will fulfill life purpose and find a sense of greatness that’s worth living for anyways.
If I wake up in the morning, eat, go to work, back home, get paid, get a shelter, and live life randomly like @radonwhale , I’m living an average life.
Greatness is not as easy as an Average Life is but sure Worth it
Many people settle for an average life because they think the cost of greatness is expensive. Why struggle for it when I can have an average life and still live my life anyways?
The problem is not about living your life; it’s about failing your generation, depriving it of great things that should come out from you.
The world wouldn’t be this interesting if all the amazing guys that took greatness as responsibility and work hard to develop amazing great ideas and products settled for less the way you want to.
Every greatness story is a product of thinking beyond survival, beyond ordinary and putting the extra to make it extra-ordinary.
I wouldn’t allow you come to this world and die just like that
Your coming to this world is for a purpose and that purpose needs to be fulfilled
The world needs to hear about you, your ideas needs to manifest to better our world
You can be a simple definition of greatness. When people want to define greatness they just point to you. That’s a life worth living.
Pain is not failure. As long as you never quit, you will never fail.

Dear @bania, What's the measuring instrument for an average or successful life?
An average life is when all you think is to live and survive. A great or successful life is when you find your purpose in life, stretch your mind, do something that solve a major problem in your generation. A good example of greatness is Dan Larimer steemit co-founder.
"Greatness is a function of living life to the fullest in our own way by not getting in our own way."
