Greatness lies within each and every one of you. It’s just a matter of how deep you’re willing to dig to find it. There’s an unlimited amount of untapped potential flowing through your heart, your mind and your spirit just waiting to be released, so that you may rise to the next level. You possess talent and skills that you haven’t even begun to discover, because it’s in growth that you will find true enlightenment. It is in growth that we discover unbounded possibilities, but you must be at liberty to grow; free from fear, uncertainty, and worry. Never underestimating the power you have within you to achieve this greatness.
You have what it takes! There’s no situation, no difficulty, and no pain too great for you to bear. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that on this journey you will face obstacles, disappointments, and doubt. It matters not how or when. True enlightenment lives in the why. Why are you facing this difficulty? What are you to gain from this experience? What lessons are here for you to learn? Who are you supposed to be as a result of this? Every event that occurs in your life is custom designed for you. It’s up to you to fight for that person on the other side of growth or difficulty. I guarantee you it’s worth it!
You must believe deep down in your heart that you were created for a divine purpose. You can’t be afraid to go on the journey of seeking the truth about why you’re here. I promise that you were sent to this earth as a gift, as light, as love. Be mindful of that! Be cautious of the words you speak, the actions you take, and the beliefs you stand for. Be cautious of the lasting impressions that you will leave on others. Be the gift that you were meant to be. Discover your purpose.
There is a higher power that dwells deep inside you, and because you are so magnificent in who you are, the universe takes residence in you so that it may be expressed to the world. Take heed to that invaluable fact, knowing the worth of your mental, physical, and spiritual self. Only feeding the body and the mind that which will nurture, cleanse, and stimulate growth. Accomplish these adorning tasks with love, respect, and constant affection for who you are. Be in love with you, the person you are today! Love and treat yourself with great pride, understanding the great deal of value you bring to this world.
And above all, live brilliantly! Bless everything and everyone you touch. Even in your dark moments exude what I like to call “Brilliant Resilience.” Learn, grow, and become even better than you were before, but do so in a way that shines and inspires others. Show them what true purpose looks like. Because with it nothing can stop you.

Thank you for that Lena. You inspired me to step out on faith and put fear of failure behind me. Such encouraging words from a phenomenal woman. Looking forward to more to come.
Failure is only a figment of your imagination. An emotion that you have been trained to look at in a negative way. Look at failure as an opportunity to gain knowledge, wisdom, and expertise. Look at is as an opportunity to learn was does and doesn’t work.
Yes! Yes! And Yes! Thank you for sharing this brilliant truth!
Great post. Tapping into my greatness while still trying not to be discouraged.
As long as you are trying!!! Never be discouraged!
Such an amazing, inspirational and motivational post. You have always been an inspiration to me since we were younger. “There is no situation, no difficulty, and no pain too great for you to bear.” Just when I feel like I’m drowning in life and is various situations, you come right on time with a motivational life jacket! Thank you!
There is nothing! Nothing! That can stop you. Once upon a time after a bad relationship, restraining orders, and extremely harsh circumstances I turned my life around. By believing! So believe my dear, believe that greatness lies deep within… but it takes going through “life” to get there.
Thank you for writing this! I had it forward it to me by a friend and it was right on time. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness of the post– we should all be reaching for our inner greatness. Thank you!!!

You have always been that friend persevering through any bump that may come your way and!!! Thank you and well done my sister xoxo!

Thank you so much for your beautiful words. This is the exact message that I needed today. I reached a point today where I just felt so incredibly challenged and overwhelmed by life that all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and cry. When I read your words I sure did start crying, but it was because I felt like you were speaking right to me. It was so comforting and amazing. The timing of this message could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much!
Hello Beautiful!!! I am so glad that my words spoke to you and all that you are. Don’t be afraid to push through whatever pain you are experiencing and step into your greatness!!! Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability.
