Daring to be great

One of the all-time great movie characters is Lloyd Dobler. Anyone who has seen Cameron Crowe’s Say Anything would agree. Dobler, like everyone, desires a winning arena.

It’s common in all of us to seek challenges worthy of our time and energy. We’re tired of being fed the boring, status-quo, laissez-faire diet crammed down the throats of the masses. Playing it safe is too risky. And Lloyd doesn’t buy it. Deep down, we don’t either.

He is looking for a “dare to be great situation.” We are too!

He is an eternal optimist. He observes the crowd and does the opposite. Each of us can identify with Lloyd. Everyone is born with a longing for greatness.

Have you found your “Dare to be great situation?”
