If greatness only required your pain and sacrifice, more would achieve it. Others are constantly casted doubt. I am a dreamer. I am thankful that I can see the goal and not give up until it is achieve it. I have found that the greatest barrier to greatness is the inability of those close to you to understand.

The Missing Piece is most people are unable to visualize exactly what there want, the Law of Attraction can give them the opposite of what there desire and there never see the results there want. And that's a shame because there can be, do, have and experience whatever there want in life. The fact that you are reading this post is proof attraction. Some might call it an accident. Others might call it fate.But right now proof that the Law of Attraction can work for you and me is at hand. http://www.gettingrichsciencesecret.com/freereport/ The secret to greatness besides choosing pain over pleasures,one have to bypass the roadblocks that stopped them from bringing them all the success there deserve.

The pain is short-term and the pleasure is long term, but most people don't have strong enough pleasure link to greatness.

most people don’t have a strong enough pleasure link to greatness that will outweigh the short-term pain.

Then again, most people don't have a strong enough pleasure link to greatness that will outweigh the short-term pain. It's just a choice at the end of the day. Some people want to be great, some want to watch soaps. It’s true, most people can’t resolve to pay the price.

Great people are those who have exceptional qualities, and they achieve them by continuously pushing their boundaries beyond their comfort zone. Good people stop after reaching certain level, but great people never stop. They continuously push themselves to the next level beyond their comfort zone. Moving beyond comfort zone is painful, but great people do it continuously for long time. This is the kind of sacrifices I mean. <blockquote>The secret of greatness is choosing pain over pleasures continuously for long time</blockquote> So the pain here is "moving beyond the comfort zone" while the pleasure is "staying within the comfort zone". Great people choose pain over pleasure continuously for long time, because they always move beyond their comfort zone. Of course, that's only my opinion. I love reading your opinions which are "food for thought" for me. They are invaluable inputs from me to learn from. Thanks for sharing everyone! Maybe I can put it in a different way.

So the pain here is “moving beyond the comfort zone” while the pleasure is “staying within the comfort zone”. Great people choose pain over pleasure continuously for long time, because they always move beyond their comfort zone.

For some people, this is what counts most in life but for me, no. And it depends on what you mean by greatness. If you mean success in life or to be recognised internationalyy, then often, this does not imply pain. Take the case of the "Numa Numa Guy" who posted a video about him lyp-synching "Dragostea Din Tei" on youtube which made him an international phenomenon. Obviously he was having great fun doing this and I'm sure he had no idea that this will cause his "greatness". Like Joanna, greatness is a matter of choice.

If you have a conception expressed in the sentence I quoted, then sure, you have to deal with this. However, I think that there are other options...maybe greatness is just a matter of your choice? mindset? passion? does it really have to hurt? I don't think so...but on the other hand, I guess there are people who need to go through some beliefs to learn something. anyway, interesting post, good luck! “Greatness requires sacrifices and there is no sacrifice without pain.” – I believe that your world is what you believe in.
