How Big Do You Think?

20 replies
I've always loved "The Magic of Thinking Big" by David J. Schwartz.

The message is fairly simple: Whatever the size of your goals (preferably large), surrounding yourself with positive people has a way of propelling you toward success.

I've listened to the audiobook probably a dozen times over the last couple of years, and it never ceases to inspire me. It can do the same for you!

    I believe anything is possible. From Teleportation, to Immortality, to Instantly Manifesting Gold or do you remember the movie Cinderella? Yep, turning a pumpkin into a carriage. There is no potential not worth not believing in...all you need is to either have the drive to learn it yourself or walk the path someone else already walked.

    I like thinking of the way I think as the Tip of the Pyramid where Imagination = Reality

    I also believe it's natural to think big...it's natural to get what you want...it's natural to be a success in creating whatever we want.

    There are probably lots of warriors also thinking quite big I met some already. Now show us what ya got ;p

      I agree 100% but I don't think most people are wired that way. I've met people who are entirely limited in their thinking and couldn't or wouldn't ever imagine themselves succeeding in a million years. It's as if they don't think they deserve it. Sad!!!

        Then I guess it's our responsibility as warriors to enlighten those people, don't you think? Who wants to throw together a product showing people - How To Live A Limitless Life *Unchain your Soul* - For every problem there is a solution...we've got the solution which can make us big $$$
        Once people actually TASTE the possibility of their life being bigger than it currently is they won't want to go back to that small life...

    Nothing is impossible if you just set your mind on to something. If we were to dream, we might as well dream big, for in case we will be facing adversaries and challenges along our journey, we still have that dream to pursue.
    Think Big, Dream Big. I agree with that Phill, a person should establish a plan for himself that is, if he were to have a dream, then make it big. After all, no one can tell us that it is impossible; it is up to us if we allow other people to get in the way of our dream.

    If you really want to change something, change your thoughts first. Your thoughts will give a big big impact for you to be able to move and achieve the goal you've set on your mind. Dream big and think big. God has already planted that dream in your heart and mind, and only you can be able to achieve that. You can make that dream happen only if you believe it and act for it. Be positive always. Success attracts more success!

    That is a very remarkable observation, and you are very correct.

        I find it really frustrating when people won't even consider that their lives could be bigger. It wouldn't matter if they were happy but they often are not. It seems so obvious to me - if something is making you unhappy, change it. Life can only be as big as you think it can be; why not make it as big as possible.

    People tend to do what they've seen other people do. That's why it's so important to seek out mentors and peers who help you to raise your game.

    The thing is that you can't have any doubt in your goal. Once the doubt appears, the goal become weaker as your motivation weakens too. Now, is it a good idea to set a realistic goal? For me, it's not making me excited to set up 'realistic goal'. It just doesn't give me this drive, these 'dream images' inside my mind that I know I need to have to make things happen. Still for example for IM goals, I won't dream for $2M/month as it's still a bit off my reality. Maybe not...

      Apparently, tests show that we do, or at least attempt to do, what we've seen other people do. It could be the same thing, something related, or some combination of things. That's probably what makes a goal seem "realistic".

      So, we need to keep our eyes open!

    While I'm trying to think as big as I can regarding online success, I'm surrounded by negativity at home (about my online work). Therefore, I try to follow and align myself with the best support team I can online. I believe the bigger we think, the higher level we will reach even if we don't quite make it to the top. Think small and you can probably reach that goal, but aim higher and you will more than likely achieve more, IMO.

      That's what I did, too! Offline, it's sometimes hard for people to really understand what working online is like. An online support system is essential to any level of online success.

    You should always think big! Why think small?

    You owe it all to yourself if all you do for the rest of your life is to think small and follow the herd.

    It is possible to achieve your goals and dreams. It took me over 4 years to be where I am today and there were so many roadblocks I had to go through and I finally saw the lights at the end of a long dark tunnel!

    All things are possible.

    My goals are not money related, but I've discovered I need money to create some of them. After coming close, soo close, once on what was basially a simple test of Think and Grow Rich I bounced around for awhile wondering where to go next.

    My next passion hit me hard and I thought big, real big for it. This past June I can honestly say I finally achieved step 1. It took about 3 years to get my foot in the door for it too, but I created it out of nothing and being a complete unknown and am proud of what I've done with it so far.

    The more you accomplish the less crazy the next step feels, and is.

    It's only impossible if you believe it is.
