Greatness Is Within You

August 30, 2017

Inwardly though I’m twisted and stirred up with mixed emotions, there is

greatness within me.

Though the shackles of life have burden me down, greatness is still within me.

Although I am like the raven that can be ugly and strike back meanly,

There is still greatness within me.

How can I get this greatness out of me?

I must first start by forgiving myself and letting go of everything within the past,

that can help me get angry so quickly.

Greatness is within me, I can hear it calling my name. I must take responsibility

for my life and for the choices that I have made.

Greatness is within me; therefore I can make better decisions for myself.

Thinking for myself and making good decisions is greatness for me,

What else can I decide that is success foe me?

Doing what I think is best besides what others think or feel that I should or

should or should have done.

This greatness for me, I embrace.

Greatness is within me for me to embrace.

Could it be that I must work within myself to pull this greatness out of me?

I have pulled, and I have pecked, and I have wept.

Had I known that greatness comes when I start by forgiving myself, then others;

this love for myself I could have been embraced.

Greatness is shining within me, not that I have let this burden fl ow out of me.

I must never quit on myself and continue believing within myself no matter the

outcome in life that I may receive.

Greatness is within me and I’m rising and standing high saying it aloud.

My life is mine to use, treat, and use as a temple.

What will you do with your life?

From day to day we can allow life to come in us, near us, or to pass us.

Greatness is within you.
