Greatness always disrupts.
What makes something great is that it presents a challenge to the status quo. It disrupts.
Grand slam businesses disrupt. Game-changing athletes disrupt. The gospel of Jesus Christ disrupts.
The key to greatness is to disrupt. To come into the mundane and challenge the complacent. To encourage people to aim for a higher standard.
By nature, we don’t welcome disruption. It freaks us out. It scares us.
It means we have to do something different than what we’re used to. It means we have to sacrifice. It means we have to be uncomfortable. It means we have to change.
But it’s on the other side of the change where we see greatness. It’s then that we see why we sacrificed, why we made ourselves uncomfortable, why we chose a different path. We see that the work we put in brought us to something so much better than we ever imagined.
At first, disruption is hard.
But when we embrace it, and press into the thick of the challenge, the reward on the other side is far worth the sacrifices made to get there.
So, if you want to do something great, welcome disruption with open arms.
