As I chronicle my personal journey to success in this blog, I have found one question for which we are all faced with at some point in our lives and it is, "how to release our inner greatness "? It is one that haunts many of us who have the desire to succeed and discover our true life’s purpose.

Each of us has been been blessed with unique talents or abilities, but tapping into that source of greatness depends on our desire for complete fulfillment and stage of consciousness in life’s cycle.  Some of you may go through life without ever seeking or finding an answer. Your accomplishments may have a sense of emptiness and you are not completely fulfilled no matter how much you acquire in physical assets. 

Your true  greatness can be found through inner awareness that reflects an alignment with the universe after realizing what you really want to do in life and you begin  doing it. When you are aligned with the universe every need or challenge encountered will end in positive resolve and satisfaction. To put it simply, as I like to say "everything will fall into place". Inner awareness allows us to connect and communicate with our utmost feelings that are not associated with ongoing thought processes and it allows us to focus on the present. 

My quest to release inner greatness within myself has been an ongoing process which involves five years of evaluating to understand and know exactly what I really want to accomplish in life. The title of the movie, "Are we there Yet"? is symbolic in meaning for me because I feel as though I am almost there as I continue to realize an awakening of consciousness. I feel a resurgence of energy within me  that  cannot be put into words. I briefly touched upon this subject in a previous post entitled, "Being Present in the Present". 

As you come closer to discovering your purpose you may experience the same sensation.  One morning you’ll wake up and know exactly what you need do to correct a problem or situation you may have been struggling with for years. Your mind will be clearer as you begin to live in the moment. For example, you may realize that the job or position you’ve worked at for years is not what you really want to do. You decide to quit your job and sacrifice the comfort you’ve known for something you’ve always dreamed of doing. I’m sure you’ve heard or read about people who have dramatically changed their lifestyles in order to do something totally different from what they did before.  It is a time in their lives when there is a period of awakening to a call of their true life’s purpose and the beginning of releasing inner greatness. 

As I stated earlier, discovering and releasing your greatness may come at any stage in life depending on your state of consciousness. The statement, "seek and you shall find" holds true to those who search for the real purpose and meaning of their lives, but you must realize that the answer can only be found from within. We are the gate keepers of our destinies that we we find through self awareness, endurance and personal development. 

Journeying toward your destiny as you discover and release inner greatness, you will understand the true meaning of William Henley’s,"Invictus", where he states, "I am the master of my fate and the captain of my soul".
