 When we look up at great people,and wish we could be like them. You look up at your role model and feel as though you can never be that good.

Have you ever paused to ask yourself "why"?
Why can't you be that great? 
Probably your answer will be something like "Look at what I did" "Look at what he does" "look at how he looks"
So its WHAT and DO that makes the difference.
Do you pause and think about how that great person used to BE? Or do you just see him as he is now? Or do you just assumed he was born great?
I suppose the most remarkable difference between you and that "great" person is that he got on, he got over all his mistakes,his past, what he had DONE and focused on what he is DOING.
We don't live back then,we don't live in what we did,we don't live in our past mistakes. We live now,on what we can do and be now. And the greatest mistake will be our deep belief that we can't be good enough because of something we have done or will do. Our greatness isn't define by a single act,word, or anything. Our greatness is defined by how we are? Everything we do. Including our mistakes.
