Why “Mining Greatness?”

This blog is a “next steps” of sorts in a years long journey of personal growth and exploration. Making the journey public is both nerve racking and exciting at the same time.  As you read these posts, my intention is that you will embark on your own journey of growth and discovery becoming all you were created to be.

I will be sharing on topics of faith, family, leadership, health, finances, the power of the mind, relationships, work; all under the guide of Mining Greatness.  I won’t be sharing as an expert, but as one on a journey – a journey with a generational destination, but no end.  An end I will never see, yet a journey of joy and growth that will leave a legacy.

Greatness isn’t something to be grasped and controlled.  Greatness is something to unleash, discover, dig out from the depths.  That is why we will mine it together.  Mining is work and so is personal discovery.  Our reality is, we are born to be great; that was God’s plan from the beginning.  However, life happens and influences come into our lives, usually with the best of intentions (though not always).   In an effort to protect, the people closest to us can enable us to see “average” as acceptable and, even more than that, encourage us to see “average” as our best.  A friend of mine frequently sites this definition of average, “the bottom of the best and the top of the worst.”  For some that might be fine. If that is you, the content of this blog is not designed to help you, unless helping you means you change your mind about your pursuit of greatness.  For those who laughed or even nodded your head when reading that definition and you know that average is not for you, then let’s go!

I thank you in advance for your questions and comments as we journey together.

Finding Greatness,
