You Have to Be Willing to Pay the Price for Greatness!
“Many people who want to be great aren’t willing to do the work to make it possible.” Zig Ziglar
Meaning of the Quote:
Greatness does not happen overnight. It required you to give much of yourself, your time and your energy in order to achieve greatness. If you are not willing to put in the work, greatness will never be possible.
Discussion of the Quote:
In order for you to be great, you have to begin where you are right now. It requires you to give of yourself, your time and your effort consistently without fail. Greatness requires qualities such as discipline, unshakable belief, passion, persistence, courage, fearless character and more.
Greatness requires great sacrifices. To achieve it, you have to make a lifelong commitment. The journey to greatness will never be easy nor smooth. It will be the greatest adventure in your life and it will bring you the greatest satisfaction.
Everyone wants greatness but most are not willing to do what it takes to make it possible. It is a path that you have to be willing to walk and to walk it alone. You have to be willing to leave the path of convenience and get on the path to change. “The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Final Thoughts:
Your future has to become bigger than all of your fears so that you are willing to take action. Also you have to unleash the power of your mind. More importantly, you have to believe in yourself even when nobody believes in you. In order to become something you have never been, you have to do something that you have never done before.
To achieve greatness, you have to commit to excellence. Mediocrity may provide you with a comfortable life but excellence will help you to achieve a great life. Many people are fascinated with a future that they are unwilling to pay the price for. Greatness requires you to dig deep within you to pull out the legend inside of you. Finally, “Have a vision. It is the ability to see the invisible. If you can see the invisible, you can achieve the impossible.” Shiv Khera.

You are so right Nichola! Achieving success requires total commitment and sometimes leaving your comfort zone. Dabbling in something halfheartedly rarely brings results. If you truly want to change your life you must have drive, ambition, be willing to spend many hours alone working on your business, and ignoring doubters!
Nichola,
This is SO very true. Anything worth having takes time and effort. Not everyone that joins WA understands this. It is NOT a get rich quick scheme as some believe and therefore, get they discouraged, quit and blame WA saying that this is a scam.
Great post. You hit it all spot on.

This was amazing ! I am going through so much in my life and I was worried about everything outside of myself. Now I have shifted the focus on me. I must make things happen and make my life better. I must become great in my own and shake off the negative I have been fed by others.
Awesome job Nichola. You made my day 😁

What a wonderful article this is Nichola. This phrase tied it all together,
"Mediocrity may provide you with a comfortable life but excellence will help you to achieve a great life".
A fact of life is that the vast majority of people accept comfortable. Hence there is a lot of mediocrity around. When we cone across excellence that gives us such a great feeling to see it in action.
Keep up the good work.
