On the 7th day of Greatness you got to....

You need to let people bear witness to your greatness

You are a great human. Do you realize how great you are? You deserve to allow others to see your greatness. I am sure you know someone who feels you are great too.

The biggest challenge I see in front of you is that you are not letting enough people experience your greatness.

Your not just doing it for you. You're doing it for them. Bearing witness helps lighten the individual's emotional load and promotes catharsis for both parties given the intimacy and shared humanity. When we write memoir, our hazarding our own stories and emotional interiors invites the reader into our experiences, so they feel as seen and heard by our speaking to our truth.

As mysterious as it is, suffering is important. Telling stories of and bearing witness to suffering is equally (if not more so) important. Many of us are champions of qualifying our pain, comparing our stories to the stories of others. But the fact is this: pain is pain. It fills us, it has power, it changes us, and like Viktor Frankl asserts in his story, we have the choice to let it overpower us or the choice to find the courage to tell, which somehow gives it all new meaning.

Letting people see how great you are isn't about showing off—it's about sharing what makes you unique and encouraging others to do the same. When you let others see your talents and strengths, it helps everyone feel more connected and motivated. Plus, it's pretty cool to inspire others to go after their own passions too!

Being open about what you're good at helps everyone be more real with each other. It's like saying, "Hey, this is me, and I'm proud of it!" That honesty helps build trust and makes friendships stronger.

Here's the thing: when you show your greatness, it's like throwing a pebble in a pond. It creates ripples of positivity that spread to everyone around you. You start a chain reaction of good vibration.

And you know what? It's not just about impressing others. It's about feeling good about yourself. When you recognize and celebrate what you're great at, it boosts your confidence and makes you feel awesome.

Now, practicing greatness every day doesn't mean you have to climb a mountain or do something huge. It's about little things you can do:

• Know Your Strengths: Figure out what you're good at. It could be drawing, being a good friend, or acing math. Celebrate those wins!
• Set Goals: Plan things you want to achieve and take small steps toward them. It could be finishing a book or learning a new song. You'll surprise yourself with what you can do!
• Keep Learning: Always be curious! Learn new things, explore what interests you, and don't be afraid of challenges. They help you grow.
• Share Your Gifts: Help others with what you're good at. Maybe teach a friend something you're great at or lend a hand to someone who needs it.
• Be Yourself: Being real and honest is super important. Show who you are, even if it means being vulnerable. It helps others relate to you and builds strong connections.

Remember, showing your greatness isn't just about what you do—it's about who you are and how you make others feel. So keep being awesome, and don't forget to share that awesomeness with the world
