Are you aiming too high?

8 replies
There`s a wonderful quote from michelangelo I wanted to share with you:

"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."

What an eye-opener!

Most of us have been trained to think what we can`t have, do or be. You have been told you should stop dreaming and get a grip.

There`s nothing bad in having big dreams, big goals and high hopes as long as you take action to reach those goals.

  • You are right...

    As Donald Trump says:

    "As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big."

    Yes this is true in any business or industry. The majority of entrepreneurs that made it thought big. When they started their venture they imagined and dreamed that things would blow up in this way or that. Thats the best way to achieve big things.


    Some people set goals low, are fine with average success...that aint me!


    same as that shoot for the stars quote

    I'm with you, Lauri. I love big dreams and I believe in dreaming big. That is why I name my blog The Big Dreamer because that's precisely what I am and I aim to encourage and motivate people to become a big dreamer.

    Cheers~

    Absolutely right. If we want to achieve success then we need to aim high and work hard too.

    You're only limited by yourself so if you think you're aiming too high then that's on you but if you don't then personally I think that's on you too. How do you truly measure what's aiming too high other than yourself as the barometer for success.. It's just something to really give some thought to.

    It's kind of like a toilet, if your aim is not dead on target of your goal you could end up having to clean up a big mess.
