I Want to Be Great‪!‬ Karmic Kamikaze

This post was written 8 years ago while in a different job and a much different place with my wife and kids. It rings truest today. I have a real problem that may be the root of all those enumerated on this “emo blog” of mine. I want to be great! I do not want to be the best husband in the world, or the best facilitator, or the best basketweaver. I just desperately do not want to be ordinary. I want to have benefitted people in the world in whatever I do especially those closest to me. However, I am not nearly good enough to be great and I am just good enough to understand that much of my life depends on the people around me.
