Easy? Oh yes!

Or are you feeling it will never happen, its impossible or you don't know how? The answer below may not be what you expect..warning—its a bit quirky, a la Mandy style!

We all have potential to be great, to have a great life and have great relationships. Maybe you have created a vision board of all the great things that you want in your life? Maybe you repeat daily affirmations to attract that greatness?

Well, the term and concept great might be getting in your way. On another level we see 'great' things as being related to huge achievements, hard work, only for others. How about if you take the letters one at a time and achieve what it represents instead?

Goal–set your goal in writing, but do it greatly and in great inventive ways. By this I mean write it out 100, even 500 times, in as many different ways as you can — on different types of paper, in the sand, in the mud, on your hand, translate it into different languages, sign language, ice it on a cake etc.


Read–become a great reader. By this I mean not just reading to yourself, but reading out to others. Read great books, classics, those recommended by others that will help you with your goal. When you find a passage worth highlighting, read it to others — on Facebook, on YouTube, to your friends, your dog, your goldfish etc.


Encouragement – whatever your goal, rather than moaning or secretly wishing others would encourage you, I ask you to encourage others in their goals. Ask those around you what their goals are and find a way to support and help them.


Aware–be aware of who you need to become and what needs to change to attain your goal. Newsflash: if you are seeking greatness, it follows that you may not feel great right now. Have you ever said of another, “Oh, s/he is great!”? Yes? Recall that person and list why you felt they were great.


If someone said that about you tomorrow — that you were really great — what would you want their reason to be? Awareness of those reasons will give you the key to what you can start working on today!


Trust–we are all meant to be great, and this most certainly includes YOU. You have already achieved small things, so trust that when they all add up, you will have achieved greatness.

Have fun
