Why Are You Sitting On Your Greatness? I wrote this book to reveal to myself why I was sitting on my own greatness. I wanted to figure out how to overcome the obstacles that I felt were in my own way and that was ultimately stopping me from walking in my greatness. The more I wrote, the more I began to realize that these same issues that I had might be the same issues affecting the minds of other women, keeping them from realizing they're true greatness.
