When I gave birth to each of my children, there was always a little sign in the room with a pain rating scale. The medical team would ask me how I felt based on the rating scale: 1 being the least amount of pain and 10 being the greatest. This is just one example of how we as humans rate everything. We analyze our pain levels, our marriages, our friendships, and our overall well-being. Consider how you would rate the areas of your own life. Do you give yourself a 10 or more?  Perhaps you have settled for a life full of marginal, middle-grade ratings. Please remember that greatness is never average. Change your mindset so that you are striving daily for GREATNESS and never settling for anything less.

If you expect greatness, you will receive greatness. If we don’t receive great things, it’s because we do not expect or speak it!  I proclaim great wealth, creative energy, promotion, health, increase, and favor over everything you put your mind and hands to. If you’ve been stagnant, but desire more, your change will happen.

Be mindful that there is a cost that comes with greatness. Having a desire to be great, live great, and do great things may require you to sacrifice friendships, hobbies, and other things that made you comfortable in the middle ground. Great burdens and battles always come before great blessings! Temptations, tests, and trials will find us, but we will always triumph!
