Everyday Greatness: Inspiration for a Meaningful Life by Stephen R. Covey

Everyday Greatness: Inspiration for a Meaningful Life by Stephen R. Covey is a compilation of works originally printed in Readers Digest. The articles have been organized based on various character traits essential to live a life full of everyday greatness. In the introduction the reader is challenged to make three choices daily in order to live a life of everyday greatness. We are challenged to make the choice to act, the choice of purpose, and the choice for principles. At the end of each chapter there is a set of reflection questions to get the reader thinking about what has just been read. I teach 6^th grade and I am reading this book with my 6^th grade students. The reflections are a great tool to inspire discussion with the class. One major theme of the book that I really love is that it is not the major events of our life that make our life great, but the day to day events and choices we make create a life of greatness. I look forward to revisiting this book year after year, knowing that each time I read it I will gain some new perspective in living a life of everyday greatness.
