Definitions of greatness differ from person to person. I've never been monetarily wealthy or powerful and don't see having or accomplishing those as greatness. I see greatness being in the kind of person one is, and particularly in the kindness and help we offer. I've had that belief for decades, though my living of it has often been inconsistent. In my younger years, things like immaturity, making it in the world, making a living, building a career, and providing for my family sometimes obstructed my being kind and helpful. I grew in kindness and helping as I grew in awareness that we are one and we are each essentially divine. Now I take "Namaste" seriously. I am much better at being aware of the divine essence of each person and thus being more kind and helpful.
