The greatness of a man….

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” – Bob Marley

I read this quote as I brewed up my morning coffee and it really resonated with me as I prepare for another busy work week. I think Bob Marley preaches it well. He embraces humility and advocates for his followers to be more than what society expects of them. He longs for social peace and justice. I think if we aimed to spread positivity more frequently, then we would universalize our race and find more common ground than we have.

Just some food for thought.
