b'BELIEVE IN SOMETHING GREATER. There are two types of winners I\\u2019ve observed. Both of them have confidence. But one winner, when asked how they did it, answers, \\u201cI am the greatest.\\u201d The other winner, when asked how they did it, answers, \\u201cGod is the greatest.\\u201d Are you putting pressure on yourself to succeed or fail? Or are you putting your strength in something greater? Whether or not you consider yourself a religious person, know that you are not going through life in a vacuum. You\\u2019re never on your journey alone. On today\\u2019s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about spirituality, loss, and dreaming big with one of the most inspirational performers on the planet: Lindsey Stirling. Lindsey Stirling is a modern-day "Dancing Violinist" who got her start on American\\u2019s Got Talent in 2010. Since then, she has over 11 million subscribers on YouTube.
