Thinking Small Serves No One
Thinking Small Serves No One. Period.
I could quit there and let you find your own meaning. I think you’d find inspiration in that one liner today. However, that’s not likely why you stop by this blog, huh?
I spoke at three events last week (NAWBO, eWomen’s Network Head-to-Toe Expo Luncheon, and Six Figure Moms Club). Almost every time I address a group, I get more in return than I give because there’s always at least one person who says something fantastic that inspires me more than they can even imagine. Let me take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to all of you that are so wonderful.
Out of all three talks, my favorite point was this one. Thinking Small Serves No One. Imagine Yourself in your personal best. What do you see?
See the impact you can make on the world if you see yourself in the biggest, grandest you taking advantage of your highest potential. How many and in what manner can you best serve yourself and everyone around you? It doesn’t help anyone for you to mold yourself to be something smaller than your highest potential so why would you ever settle for anything less than the best you can be?
- I see people every day settling for mediocrity. Why is that?
- I see people every day spending time checking off their to do lists and calling that accomplishments when they really aren’t making progress on any big picture life goals. Why is that?
- I see people every day settling for moderately happy but not doing anything about it? Why is that?
Thinking Small Serves No One.
Especially not You. Especially not your children because you are the role model.
Today, I challenge you to THINK BIG about YOU.
If you have some great examples of how you are thinking big about your life, please leave a comment and share your story? Happy Monday!
I love this BUT now you need to write about how you can accomplish BIG things with SMALL steps. I’m afraid the challenge to think big will paralyze some people…
Hey Miss Amy, Great point!
Thinking BIG doesn’t necessarily mean one has to think FAST, right? As long as we’re progressing toward greatness everyday, it really doesn’t matter how long it takes us to get there. My post is more about having the strength to reach for our potential and avoiding progressing down the wrong paths.
Thanks for clarifying this as we all do have to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Great post. Most people don’t strive for greatness because they fear failure. A big goal can be daunting, but you need to realize that small steps will get you there.
