In people who have made it to greatness, I have seen two things.
1) Dependance on Gods. Dependance on invisible spiritual powers who continuously take care of us, who protect us and guide us in our difficult times.
2) Secondly, they depend on certain life principles. They have consciously selected these rules, and so far as possible, they try to adhere to these principles.
In my view, a combined effect of these two things bless them to reach on a higher level of human existence.
Personal Experience
If today, if I take stock of my own life, I see that I am heavily dependant on Gods. But I lack second aspect. I do not have well defined principles to which I adhere to. My principles are vacillating. They lack iron in them.

After 20 years, an ex wife returns to ask from ex-husband for maintenance - A case story
Recently, I came across a strange case.
20 years ago, a husband and wife parted.
Husband paid lump sum amount and wife forego all her rights to future maintenance.
The Judge passed order on compromise. The dispute was given a cold burial.
They parted.
The husband remarried and began to live with new wife. He has now children. He has forgotten all about his ex wife.
The ex-wife remained unmarried all these years.
After 20 years, she knocked at the doors of court and claimed maintenance from husband under Sec.125 of Cr.P.C.
The husband showed to court those compromise orders passed by courts 20 years ago...According to him, the relationship of husband and wife had ended 20 year ago.
The court rejected argument of husband and ordered husband to pay maintenance to his ex-wife every month.
Husband lost appeal in High Court.
Now the case is in Supreme Court.
Poverty of parties:-
Here, the ex wife and this husband, both are poor. One wonders why such burdens of deciding heavy legal issues fall on shoulders of poor.

Should Indian law makers consider passing "Persuasive Laws" as passed in Japan? - View
Recently, I read a refreshing news item about a law passed in foreign city, prohibiting use of mobile phones by children after 9 PM.
No punishments were prescribed for children who violate this law.
So, this was a persuasive law.
By and large people like to follow and abide by laws meant for their good.
This law gives a reason to children that law requires children to hand over their mobile phones to parents at 9 PM and therefore they should do so.
Here, law is used as a tool for social engineering. No draconian punishments are prescribed. No law enforcement agencies are required.
The law only persuades parents and children to obey law and to become good citizens by following this law.
I think this is great.
Will our law makers look into possibilities of passing "persuasive laws without prescribing draconian punishments"?
