How do you define "greatness"?

This is something that's been on my mind a lot lately and it's something that I've been internally debating over the past few years. I spend a lot of time interacting with brilliant people and studying great minds, and the more I do the more I've become convicted that how you define greatness defines your life.

If you define greatness as the pursuit of a bigger title and office, that will define your life.

If you define greatness as accumulating a lot of knowledge about something, that will define your life.

If you define greatness as being the best at performing some task, that will define your life.

If you define greatness as loving your family well, that will define your life.

If you define greatness as choosing to engage every single act and interaction in your life with purpose, that will define your life.

How we define greatness defines us. In the end, it's probably what we're chasing after.

How do you define "greatness"?
