Greatness...

What does it take for a person to be great? im talking abt greatness that commands greatness that engulfs greatness that awes... not just for the moment but for ages, generations to come...
I just watched Alexander... the night ended up with me at the staircase outside of my house weeping... weeping so hard that my face hurts... I dont know how accurate the show portrayed but i saw what it took the essence of it all... it consumed me... His dream his fears his dedication his love.. many more things undescribable... yet i do not weep for him for he did what he had to do in his world despite the consequences.. i weep for the ppl around him who did not see what he saw.. his vision which took the world... i weep for every1 around me for they cannot see the greater self beyond themselves... i weep hardest for myself... for the excuses i made the justifications create to hide behind... for the fear of what it takes to be great... greater than what i could have possibly dream of... it is a lonely road for no1 can see what we see other save ourself...
yet the journey has never been for the faint hearted... 'Fortune favors the bold' a qoute from the show in a matter of years he did what no1 had thought possible at that time...maybe its true i do not know... perharps 1 day i can verify it for myself.... do i dare to be bold? i once took a step towards that that led to this journey... though i have lost sight of what i begin with it has hit me back with crystal clarity... greater than oneself... maybe i would shift the world 1 day maybe not but that does not matter... i stand once more... no matter how i fall as i have b4 i will stand again... Thank you every1.. and mean every1 without any1 of you there wouldnt be me... may i 1 day give you strength as you have given me
