GREATNESS AND GOODNESS

 

GREATNESS AND GOODNESS - There appears to be much misunderstanding by most people of the world as to what constitutes greatness.  For many, achieving "greatness" translates into money, power, fame, dominance, and so on.  Young Anne Frank, who was wise way beyond her years, understood where true greatness lies - in one's character and inherent goodness.  The Apostle Paul included goodness in his list of nine important elements of character -love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. We might go out on a limb and suggest that if one is committed to developing character and goodness, natural by products will be happiness and contentment.
