The Next Great You

We all have a responsibility to continually work to improve ourselves and our communities. While some people accidentally achieve greatness and happiness, relying on chance does not make sense. We all have the capacity to proactively pursue and attain our own definitions of success and positively affect the world around us.
More importantly, each of us represent a unique combination of talents and shortcomings. To reach our full potential, we need to figure out how to maximize our talents and mitigate our weaknesses. Nelson Mandela once said, “There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than what you are capable of living.” In other words, not only do we all have a responsibility to continually work to become the next great version of ourselves, life remains boring and uninspiring otherwise.
