Take the story of Korede, a talented software developer who had worked for a well-established company for several years. He had a steady job, a good salary, and a predictable routine. By all outward measures, he had achieved success. His friends admired him for how comfortable his life seemed and there was no immediate reason to rock the boat. But something inside Korede began to stir a quiet voice telling him there was more he could do, more he could give. He wanted to create something of his own, build something that could impact the world.
Korede faced a dilemma: his current job was “good.” It offered security and comfort. But his dream of launching his own startup something that could potentially change the landscape of tech,felt like a huge leap. It meant giving up the good for the possibility of something greater. The fear of failure, the uncertainty of what would come next, and the sacrifice of a stable life made him hesitate.
One evening, after a long day of coding, Korede reflected on his life and his dreams. He realized that to achieve greatness, he had to take the risk of giving up the good, to leave behind the comfort of a predictable life for the chance to create something extraordinary. That night, he made a decision. He would quit his job, dive into his startup, and give everything he had to his dream.
The first few months were tough. Korede faced challenges he’d never anticipated. The financial instability, the long nights, the moments when he doubted himself, it was all part of the journey. But as time passed, he saw the fruits of his labor: his startup began gaining traction, his ideas resonated with customers, and his product started to take off. By letting go of the good, he found the great.
Korede’s story reminds us that greatness often requires sacrifice. It’s easy to stay where things are comfortable, where you know the outcome. But if you’re always settling for good, you’re closing the door to what could be great.
If you’re sitting on the edge of something amazing but feel the pull of the "good" holding you back, remember this: Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great. The path to greatness is paved with risks, challenges, and moments of uncertainty, but the rewards are far greater than you can imagine.
Your greatness is waiting on the other side of your comfort zone. Don’t settle for good. Push forward, take the leap, and go for the great. I bet you , your future self will definitely thank you later for it.
