Think Big!
Filed Under The Winner Within |
When planning our day or week or life, too often due to the voice that has been imprinted in our subconscious, we end up settling for this rather than going for that. That is what we should always strive for.
Settling for this is safe. Settling for this does not challenge the voice or our comfort zone enough. Settling for this strips away the passion and excitement of the anticipation of the size of the prize.
There is no question that thinking big requires courage and strength and, most importantly, curiosity. I have talked often about my own journey that began in poverty and life on the streets. I recall hearing all the voices that many of us hear: “Based on where you came from and what you have, this is what is likely possible in your life.” A curious thing happened a long time ago while listening to that voice. I began to question, “What if where I am now has nothing to do with where I could go? What if it’s wrong?!”
I think for myself, that was a turning point, simply questioning, “What if it’s wrong?”
Here is what I have learned: It is wrong. It was wrong for me and it’s wrong for you. Take a moment and throw off the ties that bind you to settling for this. Take a moment and consider “What if I went for it all?”
At the end of the day, it is the going for that that will provide the adrenaline and passion to do every day what is necessary to reach your big, fantastic, exciting goal. This is your time. This is your day. This is your life. Make it spectacular.
