The Greatness within us
“When I open my eyes and look at the wide world, I become great; when I close my eyes and look within, I become greater still. “
— Hazrat Inayat Khan
We are all great people. We all have the abilities to perform beyong measure, to give of ourselves as though we never thought we could, or with suprise to others.
I love the above quote. With an open door, we can see great opportunities around us. We can imagine ourselves interacting with people, and jumping right in to the excitement that the open door has to offer to us.
Yet, what is special to me about the quote, when I close my eyes and look within, I become greater still….. his shows that we are important to us, that no matter what door is open, we are still who we are, shaped as who we’ve become, and can be liberated knowing that we are who we are.
We all bring talents, special favors, and unique perspective to the world, and our lives are infinite blessings to more people than we will ever know. There is greatness within us, that if we don’t know is there, will start making an apperance, shining out to others and creating an explosion of impact.
Use your greatness today. Do you know what your special talents are?
