THE MISSION OF LIVING FOR GREATNESS

In June of that year we put our life of greatness program as an ebook on Amazon and promoted this way of life for men at the Atlanta Eucharistic Congress. Our goal was to get a handful of people interested so we could get their feedback and see how beneficial this program was to their lives.

In the first week that we launched, our ebook averaged 100 downloads a day, we received feedback from 90 men, and had 60 men interested in following this way of life and receiving support through personal coaching. These results blew away our expectations and the ongoing feedback we received from men was amazing.

Our Mission

The Mission of Living for Greatness is to inspire and equip Catholics to live lives of greatness for God.

"The world promises you comfort, but you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness." - Pope Benedict XVI

We provide practical, step-by-step tools and resources to help you live your Catholic Faith with drive, discipline and purpose in all areas of life.

The heart of our mission, is to encourage individuals to cultivate a daily relationship with Jesus Christ, most especially through encountering Him in the Eucharist where He is truly present.

One concrete way we encourage others to cultivate this relationship and live true lives of greatness for God is through the practice of a daily holy hour. An underlying mission that drove Bishop Fulton Sheen was to encourage people to have a daily holy hour, and it is through his inspiration that we carry on this mission.

In the first week that we launched, our ebook averaged 100 downloads a day. We received feedback from 90 people, and had 60 people interested in receiving additional support through personal coaching. These results blew away our expectations, and the ongoing feedback we received from Catholics was amazing.

We spent the next several months working one-on-one with a handful of individuals, collecting feedback and createing a new platform and website with a greater ability to serve others through the media.

We have had the pleasure of working with many influencial business consultants and personal development coaches in shaping our ideas on how we could best offer practical tools and strategies to support Catholics in living out their faith with a sense of mission and purpose.

Now in 2014 we are launching the Living for Greatness website with a greater ability to serve those desiring to live lives of greatness for God.

We do not claim to have all the answers when it comes to how we can each best live out our faith. Our goal is to bring you proven methods that have worked for people in many walks of life.

Our hope is that you will find some of these tools and strategies helpful and apply them to your life according to your unique needs and circumstances.

God bless!

Founders of Living for Greatness

About us

Thank you for your interest in Living for Greatness. Our names are Victor and Christopher Carter. We started Living for Greatness as a resource to support Catholics in living out all aspects of their lives for God’s purpose and glory.

We were raised in a Catholic family (6 boys and 1 girl). After high school, we each attended seminary to discern a priestly vocation. While God had other plans for our lives, we can see how he used that time of spiritual formation to benefit us in the work we do today.

Christopher

After seminary we went into business together and have since worked closely on our two passions in life; living an authentic Catholic life and personal growth and development.

Having read hundreds of books and attended dozens of seminars in the areas of business success and personal development, we have witnessed the drive, discipline, purpose, and resources people have in pursuing success in the world. This inspired us to bring that same enthusiasm into living our faith and to apply many of the great tools and strategies we learned to living more fully for God in today's day and age.

With this desire, we began creating the “Life of Greatness Program” as a way of life that would challenge individuals to become their best for God in each aspect of their lives. We combined personal development tools and strategies to create a structured framework to support others in achieving this goal. The central focus to this way of life was cultivating a relationship with Christ through the practice of a daily holy hour.

In June of that year, we launched our Life of Greatness Program as an ebook on Amazon and promoted this way of life for at the Atlanta Eucharistic Congress. Our goal was to get a handful of people interested so we could get their feedback and see how beneficial this program would be to their lives.

We wanted our everyday lives as Catholics to be filled with the drive, discipline and purpose of a man on a mission living completely for God. We wanted to be challenged to live out our faith in a real, and authentic way.

Stephen R. Covey and Stephen M. R. Covey have been an inspiration and great influence to us in the areas of personal development and high performance. It was an honor to be able to meet with and thank Stephen M. R. Covey for his great work.

It was a great pleasure meeting with Al Switler, one of the authors and founders of Vital Smarts. Their research is leading the way in the science of behavorial change in individuals and organizations. We have learned a lot from these guys.

Bishop Fulton Sheen has greatly impacted our lives through his example and underlying mission of encouraging people to have a daily holy hour. It was through his influence that we began the practice of a daily holy hour.
