Where Is Greatness?

Where is greatness?
Is it in the words we speak? Is it in our occupations?
Then what is success?
Undefinable, that word is.
But where can I find satisfaction? When satisfaction cannot be found.
Is being content more important?
But how can we be content when we are unsatisfied?
Give me something, an answer or maybe a few strings to grasp onto.
You cannot measure greatness, nor can you find it.
It’s subjective.
What is great is what we see as great, there is no clear cut answer to what greatness looks like.
Or is there?
You can say this is undefinable and define success or greatness by who we are and what greatness is for ourselves, but then another person can go and say what is true is actually false and what is false is true.
So where can I find greatness?
See, it’s a tangled web we weave when we go and say a word is subjective because many say that love is love and whatever we define it as is what it is.
We can say faith is whatever you believe in but only one road leads to Heaven and many roads lead to hell, so saying that we can define what truth is…well, we can’t.
That’s the truth.
So where can I find greatness or success or satisfaction?
Look around, maybe you’ll see it.
It’s in a speech, in a tone, in a matter of seconds and takeoff.
It’s when the boundaries are broken and you don’t find yourself but you are found by someone else.
Then you’ll say that’s just luck.
But let me tell you, greatness is everywhere, we just turn a blind eye to it.
Success isn’t definable, I’ll be honest. But yet, maybe it is. I think we go through stages of success.
When we get that first car, that first job, graduate, get a better job.
It’s not a mile marker, “this-is-when-I -succeeded-and-completely-owned-life” type of moment in our lives, but merely a small achievement here and there set to the ultimate picture of success which might not be completed but nonetheless will be great.
Because that is what greatness is.
The act of trying.
And some might say the act of trying isn’t success unless trying leads to success because trying can lead to failure. But hear me out, trying is a form of greatness because in order to be great we must get up from our failures and begin the process of trying once again.
That my friend, is greatness. So maybe it’s definable, maybe it’s not. Maybe success is defined by the person.
Certain thing cannot be defined though, some have a clear cut answer, but people make it far more complicated then it really is, or make something subjective when it isn’t.
And maybe now you don’t understand me and maybe I’ll turn around and quietly walk away from this one sided conversation.
