The Magic of Big Thinking One of the most powerful and transformative forces in the world is the power of the human mind. The ability to think, dream, and create has allowed humans to accomplish incredible feats throughout history. However, in order to truly tap into the potential of our minds, we must embrace the magic of big thinking. Big thinking is the practice of pushing the boundaries of our thoughts and beliefs. It is the process of challenging the status quo and imagining what is possible beyond our current reality. Big thinking is not confined by limitations or constraints, but rather embraces the idea that anything is possible.
1. Think success, don't think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, "I'll win,' not "I'll probably lose." When you compete with someone else, think, "I'm equal to the best," not "I'm out-classed." When opportunity appears, think "I can do it," never "I can't." Let the master thought "I-will-succeed" dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.
Broken down into its components, your personal training program for success will bring you a series of rewards the reward of deeper respect from your family; the reward of admiration from your friends and associates, the reward of feeling useful, of being someone, of having status, the reward of increased income and a higher standard of living. I don t know to this day what prompted me to do it, but I took a sheet of hotel stationery and wrote down the names of five people I ve known well for several years who had far surpassed me in earning power and job responsibility.
Big thinking is not confined by limitations or constraints, but rather embraces the idea that anything is possible. When we engage in big thinking, we open ourselves up to a world of infinite possibilities. We begin to see opportunities where others see obstacles, and we start to believe in our own ability to make a difference.
