Ownership vs. Possession

By Tony Miltenberger, Director of Leadership and Outreach for Life Success Seminars

The difference between “ownership” and “possession” is the difference between having great thoughts and being great.

All human beings have ownership over their lives, but only a few possess the skills to be great. Possession is far more important than ownership.

I may own a piano, but Mozart had possession over the piano. The piano didn't make Mozart great--Mozart made the piano great.

Possession gives us the ability to feel what we own. We all have many things that we own (homes, cars, jobs, etc.), but how many things in our life are worth possessing? What are you doing to take possession of the day? Or are you just going through the motions?

Dictionary.com gives 11 different definitions for “possession.” The 11th definition is "the feeling or idea itself." Possession is what Life Success Seminars is all about--teaching the tools to be great. Check us out: www.lifesuccessseminars.com
