Optimism
The belief that greatness pervades throughout life is optimism. One of God's promises to us is that if we obey Him, greatness lies ahead in our lives. Sometimes being optimistic can really be hard to know that good will partake in our hearts and minds! We want to believe that great things can happen, but we have the sense to hang on to doubt. As a young woman, I have often had doubts as to what I could do with my talent of writing. It's easy to believe that I am a talented writer because the words that I write make sense to me. But what about those who don't have the same beliefs? Well, I say this, believe in greatness within yourself and great things shall happen. God doesn't let us down! He may say not now, but He didn't say never!! Be OPTIMISTIC!

Leadership and Greatness
What is within us shall shine through our actions! If we are mean and hateful, those are the faces that we as well as others recognize in us. If we are loving and kind, these things will too show in our daily ways. Sometimes it is best to live with a loving and open heart. Tell someone that you appreciate them and that you want to make them smile. It is not always about what others can do for us, but it is what we can do for others that is key. We have to find the keys that unlock the greatness within us. There is greatness in us all, but we must first see it. Once we can see and believe that we are great as people, it is then when others will see our great ways and want to be great as well. I'm no scientist by any means, and I don't use scenarios to analyze those around like Freud once did, I just recognize in myself, as well as others that we must believe we are great.
What does it take to be a great leader? First we must learn to follow...follow those who have given us the light to flourish and shine bright on our purpose. Do you ever feel that you have no sense of purpose? Like you're just here killing time? Well sometimes it seems as if our lives are stuck in one place and that we will remain stagnant. We must learn not to be defeated by these purposes that we have no idea that exist. When you're a teenager, you have the perception that you know everything. Truth of the matter is, we do not know everything in which we think we do! Our parents want to mold our minds into better thoughts and dreams that they once had. What if the dream that our parents had never came to pass? What if there was no one to give them that light of purpose? How can they pass it on if they were never passed that torch? They can't lead a group of children to great things and accomplishments if they've never been lead to believe that they can be better.
