How to Be Great
“Start by admitting that greatness doesn’t come from the distraction and busywork that often fills up our lives.” – Leo Babauta

More hands and feet
It is easier to point the finger than it is to point the way,
Ownership
You do not need to possess what makes you happy. You only need to own it.
Ownership is different from possession.
You do not need to hold in your hand for you to own.
You need to hold in your hand for you to possess.
Those who hold on to things in their hands hold it in care of the owners.
Owners always have their hands free.
Too many people have strangled their sources of joy with their own hands, too scared to let go.
Let that not be you.
– Osasu Oviawe
X factor
Matthew 21:28-32
“What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, `Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ And he answered, `I will not’; but afterward he repented and went. And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, `I go, sir,’ but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and even when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him.
Homily:
Words matter, but the proof of all things is in action.
Follow through is the X factor.
