In psychology, the concept of ‘social proof’ suggests that people like to follow the crowd. If everyone else is doing it, you assume it’s the right thing to do. Other people influence your actions more than you realize. For example, if you had to pick between two new bars and you could see that one was packed while the other isn’t, you’d assume that the empty one sucked and the popular one was much better! But just because everyone else is doing it does not mean it’s right. Slavery used to be legal, but now nearly everyone would agree that it’s inhumane, degrading and immoral.

The size of your jeans doesn’t define you.
The colour and shade of your skin doesn’t define you.
That number on the scales doesn’t define you.
Those marks on your face don’t define you.
Those expectations don’t define you.
Those opinions don’t define you.

You came here loaded with potential, ability, gifts, wisdom, love and intelligence to share with the world.
You’re here to make the world a better place.
You have a purpose, and until you start living it you’ll have a void inside you; a feeling you can’t quite explain, but that knows you’re meant for more.

To sustain happiness, you must work towards self-mastery. It’s an inward journey that requires substantial spiritual growth. Choosing empowering thoughts over limiting ones should become your natural way of thinking. You must make it a habit to look on the bright side of things and let go of the past; to stop living in the future and appreciate where you are and what you have right now; to withdraw from comparisons and love everything in this world without condition. Embrace what is. Be happy.

This is a beautiful life. I’m glad to be a wave for these few moments. I won’t break or die when I hit the shore because I’ll simply go back to the ocean. I came from the ocean and I’ll return to it. It is what I am, and I am what it is. This is how I’m meant to be.

In simple terms, greatness is about becoming the greatest version of yourself. It’s about breaking the imaginary boundaries that hold you captive in a life you believe you have to settle for, and touching the realms of the unthinkable. The greatness mentality means living a life without limits, where there are infinite possibilities.
