Gather Greatness

Seek not to become a Man of Success, but a *Man Of Value*

The Earthquake of 2008

I get up kind of early in the morning, usually at 5:00 am.  This morning was like any other, I shaved, showered and dressed.  I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail about 5:30.  It must of been 10 or 15 minutes later, I felt the strangest sensation.  We have a treadmill in the room next to mine and it felt as though someone had turned it on.  But, No one in my house gets up this early, I thought.  My thoughts flashed to the furnace in the basement.  I hope the belt or motor wasn’t going bad.  A few seconds later the vibration stopped.  I’d check it out when I got done on the computer.

A half hour had past and I caught a bit of the news.  There had been an Earthquake, 5.4 in the neighboring state, somewhere around Evansville, Indiana.

I live in Southern Ohio, so I guess we had felt the ripple effect.

What’s really bizarre was that I was reading an article on the internet about the same time, concerning the Law of Attraction. It was eluding to the idea that our thought waves send out vibrations and resonate through the Universe.

I thought, “this is pretty powerful stuff.”

In this case, I know it was just coincidence, but I really got a chuckle out of the timing of it all!

Here’s to increasing your Greatness,

Not Reality.Actuality.

Not Reality.Actuality. 

This is the new catch-phrase I keep seeing on the Television.

There is definitely a surge in interest, in wanting to view the here-and-now.  People are fascinated by the forensic, the unspeakable, the inner workings of the human mind. 

What makes people, ………well,…….. people. 

We are no longer satisfied with how something works, but the actuality of…………. the smallest fragment of motivation lying beyond each action.

The human being and the mind that controls him, is unique, but also very much alike to every other person.  

We all are Human.

What we must keep in mind, is……………………….

It is up to each individual to guide their emotions and channel their actions. 

As Benjamin Franklin taught:  We must develop a set of Values.  

Without a Value-System in place, individuals follow their instincts rather than their intelligence.

They don’t stop to consider, the way we live affects not only our existence, but changes the lives and destinies of all those we come in contact. 

Also, our decisions not only affect the here-and-now, but have the power to affect several generations to follow.

We may be living in Reality but we are affected by the Actuality.

This may be contrued as meare ramblings of my mind, or ………………………………?

Consider these thoughts:

  • Be careful what you wish for………………..
  • ………………..it starts with one small step.
  • We can only reap what we soe,  so……………………………..

Man was not born in a vaccuum.  We are all in this together.  What we do affects our future and the future of all those to come.

So, for the sake of all men,

  • Gather your Talents,
  • Gather your Treasures,
  • Gather your Greatness

Not Reality.Actuality.

Then,  Become someone Great!!!

I hope to meet you *on the road to greatness*
