What if you knew you were destined for great things, but still lived the ordinary humdrum existence of a normal human being? Like you knew you would one day be famous, or do something famous…how do you live with the ordinariness of the everyday life?Some people say that being “extraordinary” is a birth-right…that you are just born with that “glow”, and you and everyone around you knows that you are destined for greatness.
What about the others of us that sit through life wondering, how do I achieve this greatness that I know is inside me? How do I reach that pinnacle peak of perfection while I’m stuffing envelopes staring at a wall in my life less ordinary? What would you do if you knew your destiny was greatness, but your present reality didn’t reflect that?
Everyone wants to achieve greatness. Most people want to know that they will be remembered once they are gone.
Me, I’m just looking for something to believe in. I’m not looking for my destiny, goddamn it. But I am looking for something.
