Discover Your Greatness

  Dr. Vincent Arrington is a passionate leader and mentor dedicated to helping young people realize their full potential. Growing up in the inner city, Dr. Arrington faced many struggles that challenge today’s youth—academic setbacks, peer pressure, self-doubt, and personal hardship. Once a shy “C” student, he refused to let his circumstances define him. Through hard work, faith, and resilience, he earned a PhD and built a successful career, proving that greatness truly lies within us all.

As a technology manager at a Fortune 500 company and a dedicated community advocate, Dr. Arrington understands the professional world and the importance of giving back. He ran for public office, experienced failure, and endured a divorce, but he rose stronger each time. His journey is proof that setbacks are the catalyst for comebacks.

With Greatness Is Within You, Dr. Arrington speaks directly to inner-city youth and anyone who feels overlooked or underestimated. His message is simple but powerful: your past does not define your future. You can rise above, reach higher, and become all you were created to be.

Dr. Arrington enjoys spending time with his children, Alexis and Alex, who continue to inspire his daily mission when he's not mentoring or writing.

Greatness Is Within You is a powerful and deeply personal motivational guide written to uplift and inspire young people—especially those growing up in inner-city communities. Drawing from his own life journey, Dr. Vincent Arrington shares how he overcame humble beginnings, academic struggles, self-doubt, failed elections, and personal setbacks—including divorce—to rise and earn a Ph.D., become a corporate leader, and empower youth as a mentor, educator, and speaker.

With a message that greatness isn’t reserved for the privileged—it’s already within each of us—the book equips readers with practical tools and life lessons. Each chapter focuses on a key principle for personal growth, including overcoming adversity, setting goals, developing positive habits, building financial literacy, and finding the right mentors. It challenges readers to shift their mindset, reject negativity, and believe in their potential—no matter their circumstances.

Through storytelling, exercises, and straight talk, Greatness Is Within You reminds readers that their background does not define their destiny. It’s a call to action for young people to rise above their environment, make smart choices, and become leaders in their own lives and communities.

This book is more than inspiration—it’s a blueprint for transformation.
