What enables us to achieve our greatness contains the seeds of our destruction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we all carry the seeds of our own destruction. You really have to be aware that just because something is good, it doesn't mean it's not going to trigger a self-destructive impulse.
Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it.
Our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted - folks who work hard for what they have, then reach back and help others after them.
There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning.
You know, we're really destroying ourselves because we're really making the motivating force of anything we do selfish.
We all see that, today, man can destroy the foundation of his existence: his Earth.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.
The root of this possibility of doing good - that we all have - is in creation.
You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.
