Message of the Day - Dream Bigger

Good Morning,

 

My current read is “Do Less, Achieve More” by Chin-Ning Chu (http://chinningchu.com/2007/pages/home.php). Part of the book covers dreaming for our goals. Having dreams makes life more fruitful, especially as we achieve our dreams and then create new ones to aspire to.

 

One challenge we must face is the size of our dreams. This may sound frivolous, as dreams are dreams, but think about it. If your dream is to get to work today, great, but when you accomplish it, you have not really grown (unless getting to work entails some cross country or global trek on foot to get work, etc.). Otherwise, what have you learned?

 

Even worse, if you dream small, little, easy to get goals, etc. and still do not get them. This can put us in a bad place. Dang, I could not even get to work today….

 

If we dream big, and try to achieve of our goals, even if we don’t make them, he have moved from where we started and grown along the process. If when we are growing toward our dreams and it continually eludes us, instead of giving up, dream even bigger. For example, dream of that palatial home in the suburbs, you know, the 5,000 square foot homestead. You keep it mind as you go through your day, and as you make decisions in life and grow, that house can become a possibility. If you get into a rut, instead of dreaming about the 5,000 job, change your dream to a 10,000 square foot house. Cut out pictures, look at them or think about them daily.

 

Little goals give us little opportunity for growth. Big goals give us larger opportunity for growth.

 

If you feel you are not growing enough, get bigger dreams.

 

Dream bigger, you deserve it!

 

Enjoy!
