— Thank you Lewis Howes and Team School of Greatness!

Something has been nagging at me for days that I couldn’t quite put into words; but it finally hit me and I want to share it with you all…
Lewis finishes every single podcast interview by asking ‘what’s your definition of Greatness?’ I have heard him ask that question hundreds of times, and I have listened to every single response he gets. I have contemplated over and over in my own mind how I would answer that question but have not yet been able to get there. I know what Greatness feels like, but I have not been able to figure out how I would put it into words. I finally figured it out.
We tap into our Greatness when we allow ourselves to be led by the fire that burns within us, rather than allowing ourselves to be minimized and controlled by the darkness that surrounds us. Greatness is about connecting with others through love and possibility, rather than pain and fear. We live in a world where our learned behavior is to constantly search for comfort and safety. We are surrounded by people who are stuck in a viscous cycle of believing that tearing others down is the only way they can truly lift themselves up. A world where the majority relates to each other through pain. What we all just experienced was a group of people who brought out the best in each other. Just by showing up, we collectively raised our standards of ourselves and of each other. I felt it with every conversation I had. So I just want to thank each of you for showing up, for raising the bar, thank you for every time you stepped outside of your comfort zone. That is where the magic happens.
This event was the very essence of Greatness. To me, Greatness is when we connect to the deepest part of ourselves that wants to make an impact in this world no matter how big or small, and we allow ourselves to be moved by it in spite of the comfort and safety that our egos are constantly searching for.
And I write this so I can anchor this for myself but also as a nudge to those of you who are worried about losing the momentum of this past weekend – Keep the bar raised. Don’t lower your standards to fit into a world that may not be working for you. Don’t minimize yourself for the sake of someone else’s comfort. Every moment that we allow ourselves to be led by our own greatness, we hold the space open for others to find the greatness within them.
I am so grateful for you Lewis. There are no words to describe the amount of courage it takes for a person to show up in this world the way you do. You have shared your story with the world, and continue to do so. But only you truly know what it took to get here. I just want to acknowledge you for that. Through you we are able to tap into a level of greatness within ourselves that most people only dream about. Thank you for creating and holding that space for us.
I love you guys. Keep the momentum going. Finish the year strong. We’ve got this. Take a stand for your Greatness.

and got another boost.
We have the keys to improve our health, cook like a Top Chef, find and get the one (or consciously uncouple with the wrong one), transform our style, become successful entrepreneurs, learn from greatness (we already had that one , and to do it all without excuses so we can pay it forward!!
Thank you Lewis for you and your genius guests. I’m starting tomorrow with food, incorporating a few (as opposed to none) vegan days per week from The Fully Raw Diet! . . . Show less
