A Place of Greatness

by Regina Pleckaitis

I have always known and yes, I know that "always" is too strong of word for many, but I truly think I have always known I was meant for greatness. Unfortunately, it seems the only greatness that I have been succumb to know is the greatness to disappoint, to fail, to ultimately suck at great depths. But it has always been to me that I would be able to get on track. It has always been to me a pureness in feeling and trueness in thought that one day I will overcome. That there resides something in me, a feeling, an unearthed passion that will bloom and the only question is when, when is the bloom to take place?

Am I slowly opening? I am slowly opening with the depths of my curiosity and interests and my self-expressions that has been locked for so long for the sheer shyness, which has stunted me for so long. For it is well ingrained in me that I have always been lacking in this or that or that I am not this or that.

But I have found the ability to look beyond the undesirables that I have come to believe in myself. "What will be will be," to be able to be OK with "what it is, is what it is," and believe in myself to be the solider of change from the inside out. Because really how can one change if it is not from the inside out?

Ultimately, my journey thus far, has taken me to a deeper wisdom I never thought myself capable of, and that wisdom and that feeling I truly wish for everyone else whose been shoved to the depths of despair by harsh words, harsh looks, and harsh criticisms and who have come to live and define themselves in those words, those looks and those criticisms.

Be you to the hundredth degree. Never ever sacrifice yourself. It's a simple old truth, "love thyself," and everything will fall into place, a place of greatness you have always known for yourself!
