The truth is every single one of us has the potential for greatness; there is something on the inside of each one of us put in us by God that should spur us to success.

Now, I’m sure you have heard this before and you are probably wondering if this is true. You are probably thinking that is this is true, then why does it seem like some people are great and others aren’t?

The answer is simple. Although we all have the potential to be great, some people possess the quality to work out their greatness.

From a careful study of great and successful people, they usually have certain things in common. So, it is safe to conclude that people who have these qualities are indeed destined for greatness.

And we have put together seven of those qualities that great people and those destined for greatness possess.

 

SIGNS YOU ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS

  1. You Are Not Afraid Of Failure

One of the problems with most people is their fear of failure. They are so scared of failing at something that they decide not to try.

However, one of the signs you are destined for greatness is your ability to dare failure and go-ahead to do what you want to do.

Great people do what they need to do even if they will fail. And if they do fail, they pick themselves up and try again.

There is no great person ever who will not tell you of the multiple times that they tried something and failed but the difference between them and the average person is that they never let that stop them.

 

  1. You Read

Ever heard the phrase, “readers are leaders”? It is not a cliché but true that people who read are usually at the forefront wherever you find them.

Great people are readers. And they don’t just read books about their field; they read anything and everything.

They are great believers in knowing something about everything. And so, they are ever ready to learn; some even make it a thing to learn something new every day.

  1. You Take Responsibility For Your Life

Some so many people wait for change and so, blame everybody but themselves for why their life is the way it is.

They are stuck and waiting for help to come from the government, their parents, family or friends. But great people take their life in their hands.

They work out the change they want to see; they are not waiting for change to come from any corner.

So, if they are dissatisfied with any aspect of their life; they change it.

  1. You Don’t See Impossibility

While others believe something can’t be done; great people see possibility. They are constantly thinking of ways to do seemingly impossible things.

Some of the great things we have today were impossible years ago but someone dreamed it and made it possible.

For instance, the Wright brothers believed that men could fly and now, we have the aeroplane.

In the same way, as a person destined for greatness, where people see problems; you see the opportunity to find a solution.
