Greatness: Coincidence or Choice?

Have you ever had one of those moments in life where you pause and ask yourself how did I get here? When I say "here", I am speaking of your current condition in life, positive or negative, heck, maybe both. When you mentally rewind all the events that have led up to your present, did you notice a trend? I am coming to find that greatness lies in ones will to improve, perfect, learn, master, study, risk, and grow day in and day out. I'm sure there are many other words that can be added into that mix, but these stand out the strongest to me personally. Greatness means (my personal definition) that you stand out from the crowd because of a unique set of character traits and skill sets that highly influence the lives of people who you come into contact with. I believe that greatness lies in every human being, but some chose to tap into it and others forfeit it. Sometimes great circumstances thrust people into becoming great and others take it up on themselves to find it within. What type of person are you?
