Mad Across America

All of us are born to greatness. Though greatness is relative, what may be great to me is not so great to you, and vice versa. The fact remains that each of us is walking around with greatness inside of us.

Sometimes, this can be brought to our attention by a seemingly random thought we may have. Other times it might be an extremely deep desire or passion to do something amazing, something inspiring, something great.

Our reactions to these thoughts and desires can largely determine the outcome of the initial inspiration. Do we respond by agreeing with that inspiration and following it, or do we often respond with a Yeah, that would be great but...

Enter: Max Andrew Dubinsky, the writer behind the Make It Mad blog.

Over the last year I've seen Max go from being comfortable and unhappy, to having a total number of possessions that could be counted on fingers and toes, and yet more fulfilled than he's ever been.

How is this possible?

Max listened to those inspirations.

He identified with the inspirations and came to the realization that they were, in fact, the very revelation of who Max Andrew Dubinsky is.

And here comes the kickass part, Max dropped everything to pursue greatness.

All or none.

Greatness doesn't just happen.

The inspiration is a seed, it's pure and raw potential.

It's when we grab the bull by the horns, and we set our focus eye to eye with that snorting, mouth foaming beast of fear, intimidation be damned, confrontation imminent, victory our hope, a good bloody fight at the very least, that we can enter into the realm of the realization of that inspiration and the pursuit of the culmination of that raw desire, which is greatness.

Many of you reading this may be coming from a place where you don't believe in God, you think it's a ridiculous idea and a waste of your time. While others may have had so much pain in your life that the idea that there is a God is insulting to you and who you think God should be if there is one, and why then are you going through all this pain.

Here's an idea, drop Max a line, arrange to have coffee with him and just talk.

And for those of you listening to that inspiration and wanting to experience that greatness, whatever it is to you personally, be encouraged, put on your gloves and grab those horns, start kicking and fighting for what matters in your life and what it really is that you aspire to.
