Life is just a series of moments in a row. If you have enough good moments, you have a good life.

Every thought that we think, every word that we speak, and every action we take sets up the next moment that we experience. How we set it up is a personal choice that we individually make on a moment-to-moment basis.

Or as James Clear likes to say — “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”

Greatness then is choosing to think the highest thought, say the highest word, and act the highest action in as many of those moments as possible.

Greatness is having the ability to choose the highest option even when it doesn’t feel like it’s an option at all.

The Navy SEALs are masters at attuning their potential towards greatness. But often greatness comes from through the work that no one sees as it happens out of sight It’s the work that goes on behind the scenes in the minds and hearts of the courageous.
