Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn\u2019t go away.
\n\u2014 Philip K. Dick<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Dan Brown, the author of the mega blockbuster The Da Vinci Code, was asked, \u201cWhere did you get the idea for this book?\u201d he explained that it came to him when he was studying art history at the University of Seville in Spain.<\/p>\n

\"The

The Da Vinci Code<\/p><\/div>\n

There he was exposed to some of the mysteries of the da Vinci paintings. Years later, while he was studying the Vatican Secret Archives, the notion returned to him. He recounts, \u201cThis particular story kept knocking on my door until I answered.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are one of the many millions who have enjoyed and been inspired by The Da Vinci Code, you are probably glad that Dan Brown answered the knock. Yet he is not the only person whose door inspiration knocks at. You, too, have ideas, visions, dreams, intuitions, and inklings that keep coming to you. The question is not \u201cIs greatness calling you?\u201d but rather, \u201cAre you answering?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Mystery

Mystery of Mona Lisa<\/p><\/div>\n

A recurring idea or inspiration is quite likely a sign that the universe is trying to get your attention to follow through on it. Your ego, or sense of limited self, might deny and resist the calling with excuses like \u201cI could never do that,\u201d \u201cThat would take a far greater person than me,\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s never been done,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m too [old\/uneducated\/unattractive\/poor\/unworthy] for such a task.\u201d Yet when the ego has gone through its array of lame defenses and the vision keeps knocking, you may be certain that you are being guided and called.<\/p>\n

The difference between those who move the world forward and those who stay stuck in a rut is that the world movers trust the voice that keeps knocking, and they act on it. You can and will be among the movers if you listen to the persistent call of greatness and move with it.<\/p>\n

What inspiring idea keeps knocking at the door of your mind? If you were to act on it, what would be the first step you would take?<\/p>\n

Greatness is calling to me from within my mind and heart. I heed its call, and the world is better for it.<\/p>\n
