"Anything may be betrayed, anyone may be forgiven, but not those who lack the courage of their own greatness."

~ Ayn Rand, 20th century philosopher from The Fountainhead

Whatever your opinion of Rand’s philosophy, you have to admire her unrelenting belief in the human spirit and should be familiar with her ideas.

Do you have the courage to hold the space for your own greatness?

Signs you don’t:

You think even the idea of striving for greatness is arrogant/selfish/egoic/not for you/etc.

Here's to our greatness.

Don't Betray Your Soul:

"It does not matter that only a few in each generation will grasp and achieve the full reality of man’s proper stature—and the rest will betray it. It is those few that move the world and give life its meaning—and it is those few that I have always sought to address. The rest are no concern of mine; it is not me or "The Fountainhead" that they will betray: it is their own souls."
