It is most imperative to measure yourself against your own standard. Your greatness is your responsibility if it is so to be. Often we strive to achieve and/or surpass the marks set by others. When these goals are unmet we view them as failures. In actuality they are relatively unrealistic due to the fact that they were derived from another person’s perspective. No one else should possess the power to will your destiny. This is a personal and exclusive privilege.
History has shown us that the greatest individuals of time were defined by their own terms. They were trendsetters of their era and craft, sometimes failed by their peers but held in the highest esteem of their own. This within itself is the most gratifying reward.
"The price of greatness is responsibility." Winston Churchill
