There is a saying, shoot for the moon and even if you miss, youll end up among the stars. This is a great example of how thinking big can get you a long way to reaching your overall life goals. If you have a dream, dont be fooled into believing it cannot come true. One of the best things about the human condition is that we are all capable of great and wonderful things. We all have great desires, but we are made to believe that these dreams are foolish. The truth is that you cannot go wrong with big thinking. Set the bar for your life as high as you can and you might just be surprised at how close you come to reaching greatness.
Am I really thinking BIG?
One of the biggest mistakes I see people make about big thinking is that they arent thinking big enough. If you big goals include having a good day today, you arent thinking big at all. All good big thinking has similar characteristics:
- Big Thinking is Positive: You may think that a diabolical plan by an insane person is big thinking, but the reality is a lot different. One aspect that all big thinkers have in common is that there ideas benefit everyone. If you want to be a big thinker, look for ways to improve the life experience of all you meet.
- Big Thinking means Big Plans: All great big thinkers attained greatness, not by their thoughts alone, but by how they expressed them. If youve got a great idea for making your life and the lives of those around you better, dont stop. An idea is only a reality when realized. All those who want to think big should be ready to plan big as well. This means planning on a large scale as well as over the long term.
- Big Thinkers are Motivated: When you think big you are forced to move more quickly towards your goal. This extra motivation separates those who think big and those who think more for the here and the now.
Big Expectations Breed Better Results
Its a fact that you are never going to reach greatness in your life if you dont want to. You dont think Olympians and professional athletes got to where they have by not having big expectations, do you? In order to meet the goals you have now, ensure that you have larger goals for the future. Your life is in your hands. Have big expectations for your future and it will breed greater results in the present.
Building an Attitude of Big Thinking
Having one big thought is not enough to sustain your life around. You need an attitude of big thinking if you want to prosper throughout life. Continue to set high expectations for yourself and you will build a house of great things in life. It is my goal that those who read are encouraged and uplifted by these messages, were you?
