Carrying The Weight of Greatness

How Power Breaks the Unformed and How Humanity Learns to Hold It

Greatness is not a gift. It is a weight. Most people are taught to pursue power, success, influence, and leadership but almost no one is taught how to carry them without breaking. In CARRYING, Duke Patrick Businge confronts one of the most dangerous illusions of modern civilisation: that talent, calling, or opportunity automatically qualifies a person to hold what follows. This book explores why:

• Good people collapse under responsibility

• Gifted leaders become harmful

• Institutions decay after success

• Power exposes fractures rather than creating them

CARRYING is not a motivational book. It is a moral and ontological examination of weight : the kind that tests character, integrity, and inner architecture. Situated within the Canon of Eternal Greatness, this volume prepares the reader to face the truth that precedes leadership, legacy, and impact: You may be chosen but are you formed?

This book is for leaders, students, builders, and thinkers who sense that something precious has been placed in their hands and who want to learn how to hold it without losing themselves, others, or the future.
