Discover Your Greatness
Become a Great Achiever. Second edition.
I came seventeenth. Out of thirty-four. Three times. I read by lantern when the light went off, and it still never showed in my results. Years later, that same boy finished a master’s degree in the UK with a distinction. This book is for everyone living in the gap between what they carry and what the world can see.
What it is about
Your report card is not the final verdict on your life.
Maybe your CV is good but your income is poor. Maybe your effort is not showing in your results. Maybe you are starting again in a new country. Discover Your Greatness shows you how to dig up buried gifts, find your purpose, build the habits that turn potential into achievement, and see that true greatness is measured by how many people you lift.
First written in 2014 and completely rewritten for this edition: warm, honest, practical and often funny, with questions, an action step and a short prayer at the end of every chapter, and a 30-day plan to finish.
Inside the book
- Part One: DiscoverThe greatness already in you, finding your purpose, and the freedom to be yourself.
- Part Two: BuildWork, practice and time; character and integrity; faith over fear; wisdom and clear thinking.
- Part Three: Serve and LeadGuarding your inspiration, leading where you are, and why greatness is service.
