My life as a Disney princess..

I got to channel my inner Disney princess to day at work..and unfortunately it wasn't AT Disney World dressed up like beautiful Snow White or Pocahontas.. and no, I didn't run away with my Prince Charming on a white horse into the sunset & live happily ever after. 

... but it was instead channeling my inner CINDERELLA.. scrubbing all day long.  

As much as I really wouldn't want to trade spots with our friend Cinderella, all the scrubbing really gave me a lot of time to think.. As I just typed that sentence I thought, "I never understood what people really meant when they said 'oh it gave me time to think'" Don't you think all of the time?  Isn't everything you do based from at least ONE little thought?  Even if it's.. oh I need to poop now. (sorry, but HONESTLY, isn't it all thoughts?)

Anyway, it gave me some serious time to think.  I was completely in my own world, with birds chirpin' around me, and mice scurrying to fetch me things (I seriously wish), while I used a magic eraser to remove scuffs, and thought.  

So.  Here is what I was thinking about. Right before I left for work this morning I saw a quote, posted on a social media interwebz site, by an organization I tend to agree with. 

If you cannot do something great, do small things in great ways. 

   At first, I thought, hey! that's pretty cool!  Then, as I thought while I was at work, it started to really grind my gears. 

  So, I did what any other perfectly normal (I tend to use that loosely) person would do, and I looked up the definition of the word great.

Adjective

Of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average.

Noun

A great or distinguished person.

Adverb

Excellently; very well.

Synonyms

grand - big - large - high So here is my question.  How do YOU judge what is GREAT?  Who is it that says that whatever thing they did, or whatever thing they saw done.. was in fact, NOT great?  By definition, great is anything outside of average or the normal.  If you open the door for someone, if you say hello, if you offer a stranger the change they need.. those tend to be outside the normal or average range, don't they?  I'm pretty sure if my future child came home with a picture of me and I had 6 eyes, green hair, and purple skin, it would STILL BE GREAT (largely because, I'm going to create GREAT children).  BUT THAT'S MY POINT! What MAKES something GREAT? In my mind, great is relative. Don't let anything stand in your way.  Of doing anything you think you can, or you think you may want to do.  That may sound fairly bold for a young 20something to say.  But in my few years of life, I've done things that people FLAT OUT told me that I couldn't do.  So go out there, just go and do it.  Just BE great.  Maybe it's a lot to strive for, but that's all I'm trying to be.  Let me know what you do, and what you find.      xx.
