If
you’re looking to nurture greatness, these
tips may help you do just that—or they
may help you recognize the extraordinary
impact you already have on the people
around you.
1. Be a source of kindness.
“Men are only as great as they are kind.”
~Elbert Hubbard
We all want to live in a world where
people are compassionate,
understanding, and kind. Every time we
treat someone this way, we do our part to
create that kind of world.
2. Treat everyone equally.
“The true measure of a man is how he
treats someone who does him absolutely
no good.” ~Samuel Johnson
There’s another saying that suggests we
should be nice to people on the way up
because they’re the same people we’ll
meet on the way down. But there’s a
more important reason to treat people
well: We all thrive together when we stop
fixating on “up” and “down” and choose
to stand beside each other.
3. Remember that actions speak louder
than words.
“Great thoughts speak only to the
thoughtful mind, but great actions speak
to all mankind.” ~Theodore Roosevelt
Most of us have ideas to make a
difference in the world—and we can do
these things if we’re willing to act as
much as we think and talk. Take your
plans out of your head and off the page,
even if with just one small step. Wherever
you are in the process, that’s the
opportunity to be great.
4. Focus on the little things.
“I long to accomplish a great and noble
task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish
small tasks as if they were great and
noble.” ~Helen Keller
Underlying every great, big idea there’s a
purpose we can also meet through small,
noble actions. Go ahead and make that
plan to change the world, but remember
that the exchanges and efforts that may
seem ordinary are often the most
extraordinary.
5. Believe in the promise of tomorrow.
“Great hope makes great men.” ~Thomas
Fuller
It may seem like it’s deluding yourself to
nurture hope, but hope doesn’t have to
imply blind faith that things will work out
as you want them to. In can mean you
have faith that you will learn, grow, and
do something positive with whatever
comes your way. When you believe you
can, it’s much more likely you will.
6. Put love into whatever you’re doing.
“We cannot do great things, only small
things with great love.” ~Mother Teresa
Create with love, engage with love, bake
with love, build with love—whatever you
do, put your heart into it. Even if you’re
working toward a different career, know
that this day counts. Take this opportunity
to nurture something positive in
whatever it is your doing.
7. Keep an open mind and be open to
change.
“The final proof of greatness is being able
to endure criticism without resentment.”
~Elbert Hubbard
People don’t always offer constructive
feedback, but oftentimes they intend to;
if we can stay open to what might be
true, we can learn and grow a little every
day. That’s greatness—not an enduring
state, but the willingness to evolve.
8. Keep things simple.
“Nothing is more simple than greatness;
indeed, to be simple is to be great.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life gets complicated when we
overwhelm ourselves with things we
think we should do or have. All those
“shoulds” can easily suffocate the one
simple thing we all want: to enjoy our
time with the people we love. When we
fully appreciate our days, suddenly being
great seems less important.
9. Forget about yourself for a while.
“It takes a great man to be a great
listener.” ~Calvin Cooledge
So often we merely wait to talk instead of
actually listening, but this is why people
open up to us—not just for advice, but
also for our loving, attentive presence.
When we give that gift to others we
communicate how greatly important they
are to us.
10. Motivate others to be who they
want to be.
“Really great people make you feel that
you too can be great.” ~Mark Twain
We all want to feel that we matter. Show
someone else they do, both by believing
in their dreams and recognizing how they
make a difference right now. The most
powerful difference we can make in this
world is the one we make supporting
each other.
