The brain is our universe; without it, we are worthless. So, don’t be worthless if you have one. Well, this isn’t quoted. Do you know? how many things you can do with the help of a brain. Let’s see, with the help of the brain you can create an illusion, and with the help of the brain, you can turn the imaginary thing into reality. That’s why I would like to insist you think bigger not only at the workstation but also in life. I know a lot of people have a different opinion about that. Like one of my friends, he told that “do not build the castle.in the air” while I was telling him my plan. I am sure, you have heard this phrase from many people. As per my experience, think bigger is one the cornerstone of very great success. That’s not only my it says so many successful people.
“As long as you are going to be thinking anyway, think big.” ~ Donald Trump
Here are seven steps to thinking big:
* Imagine the possibilitiesGive yourself permission to dream. I remember doing this when I was writing my first book. I imagined what it would be like to be a bestselling author. I thought about what it would be like to see my book on the New York Times bestsellers list. I’ve done this for every book I’ve written.
* Write down your dream
This is the act that transforms a dream into a goal. Amazing things happen when you commit something to writing. I’ve written about that here. Writing down your goals forces you to clarify what you want, motivates you to take action, helps you overcome resistance, and gives you a way to objectively measure your success. I have experienced it first-hand again and again.
* Connect with what is at stakeThis is your rationale. Unfortunately, it is a crucial step that people often omit. Before you can find your way, you must discover your why. Why is this goal important to you? What will achieving it make possible? What is at stake if you don’t? What will you lose? Your rationale provides the intellectual and emotional power to keep going when the path becomes difficult (which it will).
* Outline what would have to be trueRather than merely asking how to get from where you are to where you want to go, I like asking what would have to be true for my dream to become a reality. For example, when I set a goal of hitting the bestsellers list, I realized that I would have to write a compelling book, become its chief spokesperson, get major media exposure, and so on. I started with the dream and worked backwards. It’s the same for any goal.
* Decide what you can do to affect the outcomeThis is where you transition from the big picture to daily actions. This is where people often get derailed. They can’t see all the steps that will take them to their goal. So rather than doing something, they do nothing. You will never see the full path. The important thing is to do the next right thing. What can you do today to move you toward your dream?
* Determine when this will happenSomeone once said that a goal is simply a dream with a deadline. A deadline is one way to make the dream more concrete—which is exactly what thinking big is about. A deadline also creates a sense of urgency that will motivate you to take action. Force yourself to assign a “by when” date to every goal. (If you get stuck, ask yourself, What’s the worst that can happen if I don’t hit this?)
* Review your goals dailyWhen I was writing my first book, I reviewed my goals daily. I prayed over them. Each day I determined what I needed to do to make them a reality. It gave me a laser focus, especially when the dream looked impossible—when the publisher called to cancel the contract, when my publicist told me no one was interested in the book, when the publisher ran out of inventory right after the book hit the bestsellers list.
Thinking big is not a gift, but a skill—one that anyone can develop with practice.
