How to become great.

Greatness, how do you achieve such a high role. How do I become someone that people call great? I want to be great but I know that it is just not really possible with how I love my life. I had this seminary teacher last year who taught me something that I took it as false doctorine. "If you mess up in life, like have sex before marriage, or look at porn, or smoke, or drink, etc. then your life will not reach it's highest potential. Even if you repent" I took that as it was a load of crap! But now I can see what he is saying. He is saying that if we do that then we are losing our innocence and we will end up going down a different path than we were on not that it's a bad one! But it's just not the perfect one. You know what I'm saying? Well I have thought of a plan of steps to stay on track with our lives. 

1- listen to your parents: they know what's best for you, trust them.

2- listen to your teachers/religious organization: they are there to help you achieve greatness in life.

3- believe in your gut: if you feel like you shouldn't do something, don't do it. Because it's probably now what you should be doing.

4- stay out of situations that will tempt you to cross the boundaries you shouldn't cross.

5- do service: I think doing service is one of the most important things you could do. If you are screwing up, by helping others out makes it so you; 1. Can feel better about yourself, 2. Show god that you want to be a good person. 

I personally believe that by doing these things you will be able to not only help your own life, but help those around you whether you realize it or not. 

Peace.
