when i am meant to be nothing

Like most people, there are instances when I have a sudden, inordinate desire to be great...to be somebody.  I'm pretty sure I've posted a couple of times in the past that I'm meant to be ordinary and that I should consider it to be a good thing.  This post is obviously a redundancy, but it's a healthy reminder on my part: "to take delight in being unknown and unregarded (A Kempis, The Inner Life)."
