The 365 Commitment

Killer of Great

The ultimate killer of greatness is no enemy that you can point to. It is not anything you can directly defeat or overcome. You cannot fight against it or even really stop it. However, kill your progress it will. It 8s a powerful enemy that has claimed thousands of wishful dreams.

Your greatness has many inhibitors, yet the single greatest impediment is your own lack of patience. You could have the greatest plan to ever devised by humankind, yet your own lack of patience will destroy anything you start todo.

You could have crafted the most awesome and well conceived plan, but without patience you will quit before you can react.

So remember to alwys consider who your true enemy is, yourself and your lack of patience.
