Greatness resides in all of us and it lies latent in our genes awaiting the right formula to be released. All to often we forget that we have the genes of many previous generations residing withing our bodies and minds. There is no certainty of the factors that determine the persons that we shall be but there is the possibility for one great act to trigger the domino effect. Our destiny is to be great and maximize the power of multiple generation of great genes.
Consider this, there are no two persons who are carbon copies of any other person that ever existed on this planet earth. Every individual that is born on this earth has their own unique design and characteristics. It does not matter how many children are born to the same parents, no two children are the same. No one can say for sure what will be the dominant trait that manifest itself in an individual.
On of the interesting things in life is that it is know that stupid parents have fathered geniuses and wise parents have been known to give birth to nincompoops. The uncontrollable factors in life make it impossible for parents to determine the destiny of their children. There are of course those children that fortune favors and there are the children who recognized that there is a glorious life ahead and no one set limits of the possibilities. There are many children who break through the barriers and limits set by their parents. It is vital to know that you can rise to be on par with the best.
There was a time when by virtue of birth some men were given privileges and declared to be nobility. This created an eternal problem because these nobility came into contact with their superiors who were of lesser birth but were truly noble. Then of course noble birth did not prevent some persons from being scoundrels. You and I can attain and surpass the highest standards that is set by man because our destiny is to be great. This is our advantage because man has the basic standards that is expected of us then there are those who surpass the basic standards set by man. Our task is to rise higher than the standards set by man and so display how awesome we are.
The collective knowledge and wisdom of man is taught in our highest institutions of learning. There are the Doctors of Philosophy who sits at the top and the daring and brilliant can attain to their status. After the Doctor of Philosophy is attained there is not much further to go in terms of learning because that is near the peak of mans understanding. There is a bit of irony in that the most brilliant of these men have studied and acquired knowledge for many years. Then there is the man who somehow attain the knowledge naturally but will never be recognized. It is important that we utilize our knowledge and wisdom because knowledge and wisdom unused or under utilized makes us no better that the stupid and ignorant.
The true person who you and I are lies with the powers that are outside our of understanding but we determine if we release the potentials residing within us. This can be demonstrated in a family with many children because the one who is the head by right of inheritance is not of necessity the one that is most brilliant. There is no telling which child will be truly noble and brave and the heir may not of necessity have the best leadership qualities. In life the principles taught to one child may be better understood and implemented by another child.
We are destined to be great and being great is our destiny but we must deal with the obstacles that we encounter in life. It is through our victories in overcoming the obstacles that our true greatness will be seen.
