    Greatness
    It's just something we made up
    Somehow we've come to believe that greatness is a gift
    Reserved for a chosen few
    For prodigies
    For superstars
    And the rest of us can only stand by watching
    You can forget that
    Greatness is not some rare DNA strand
    It's not some precious thing
    Greatness is not more unique to us than breathing
    We're all capable of it
    All of us
    Some people are told they were born with greatness
    Some people tell themselves
    If greatness doesn't come knocking at your door
    Maybe you should go knock on its door
    Sometimes greatness is about overcoming insurmountable adversity
    Sometimes is just fun
    Greatness isn't always measured in tenths of a point
    It's a bit bigger than that
    Sometimes greatness is something you plan
    But most of the time is just something you try
    Is easy to think greatness is something you see on TV
    Unless of course, greatness is watching TV
    Greatness is a scary thing
    Until it isn't
    If we think greatness is supposed to look a certain way, act a certain way and play a certain way
    We certainly need to rethink some things
    Is it speed or endurance?
    Does it happen in two hours or for or six?
    Is it finishing strong? Or barely finishing?
    Yes
    Is greatness worth fighting for?
    What do you think?
    If we face our fears
    It means we're pointed in the right direction
    Even if that direction is upside down
    It's not the biggest stadium in the world
    Not the biggest players either
    But the pursuit of greatness is kinda big enough, isn't it?
    You don't need an official court
    An official net
    Or official uniforms
    To be officially great
    Greatness speaks for itself
    Once it learns to talk
    Greatness needs a lot of things
    But it doesn't need an audience
    Some measure greatness in precious metals
    Like iron
    Greatness is not born
    It's made
    If you try to tell the guy with the sword he's not great because he's not famous
    Be my guest
    There are no grand celebrations here
    No speeches
    No bright lights
    But there are great athletes
    Somehow we've come to believe that greatness is reserved for the chosen few
    For the superstars
    The truth is
    Greatness is for all of us
    This is not about lowering expectations
    It's about raising them for every last one of us
    Because greatness is not in one special place
    And it's not in one special person
    Greatness is wherever somebody is trying to find it.

      @Gohan you must have never been heavily obese if you can’t call what that first kid did as equally impressive. For some, even walking at a size like that is absolutely exhausting and even painful, the fact that he was moving as fast as he was is incredible, especially if he hadn’t been doing any exercise previously.

    I used to be 296 until i made the choice and effort to change. i lost 118 lbs in approximately 8 months, stuff like this and the realization that you are in control of your life has brought me further than what was previously thought possible. For all out there on a mission of bettering themselves in any way, just go for it. the feelings of laziness and anything that derails you is just your old sub-self trying to take control. you got this, you are bigger than you could possibly imagine.

      @@s.s5933 For sure just very anti body acceptance. We got to strive higher not get complacent. I've actually accepted my limitations after I started running. I know what I'm capable of withstanding. I don't think I'd have the confidence to keep going higher if I had people telling me to accept my reality and to start loving my imperfections. Imperfections are meant to be worked on. My jeans agree with that assessment at least lol.

    I have been a fan of Nike since I was a teenager with my Air Max 2. I just want to add, its not hard to achieve greatness because your goal can be something really hard or just doing better than yesterday. The next level of greatness is once you have achieved it, ask yourself why you can't not be always great.
