Go Big
“Go Big,” my brother suggested when I told him about my project idea, the book I started to write. These simple words moved me. The idea of being big was simmering in my mind just in the morning. And there were those words again, “Go Big.”
This got me thinking. How many of us play a small game? How many of us play big? How do we regard ourselves? If we think we are small and insignificant, that’s what we give and therefore that’s what we receive in the world. We play a small me part, what we think of is mostly about ourselves. Sure, our dreams might be big, but as long as we concentrate only about ourselves, we will not going to go far.
So, how can we shift our perspective? How can we live a bigger than ourselves life, play a bigger game?
First, let’s start from foundation that we built for ourselves. All our life up till now made who we are today: our lessons, our tribulations, our victories, our difficulties, our winnings. Whatever it was, we got to make a peace with our past: forgive, get rid of the stuff we no longer need. Recently, I got rid of my journal writings that do not serve me anymore. I think I kept them, so I would prove something to somebody. I do not need to prove anything. As I tore those pages, my heart became 100% lighter. We do not need our past weighing on our shoulders and definitely we do not need to carry them someplace in the drawer tucked in. We got to make a peace with our past and with ourselves. If not, this stuff will haunt us in our future decisions and might stop us in the tracks. We do not need that to go forward. (To help deal with it, you can read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and look into Landmark Education. These are incredible resources.)
Next is to go for the dreams – no matter what. Dream as big as we can dream of. What’s the point of dreaming if you cannot dream big, right? Dreaming alone will not get us anywhere, though. We got to ACT on them. Little by little, day by day, step by step – Act on the dreams. Do not be afraid of failure. Failure is just a stepping stone for something coming up great. Need inspiration for action? Read Failing Forward by John C. Maxwell. This will help you to be brave all the step of the way.
These two steps mentioned above are just a prep for a third and the most important step of going Big, Huge, Gigantic: We got to INVOLVE as many people as we can – small people, big people and everything in between. We cannot accomplish anything just by thinking small (all about ourselves). As soon as we open the doors to others, help others, give others – we will start playing a bigger game – a world game. Do we want to make a world a better place? Let’s share our passions with it. Can you imagine a world full of passionate people? We have so much to give. Why are we keeping all to ourselves? We owe the world to show who we are, to help as many people as we can. By helping others, we’ll help ourselves. Let’s think for a moment in simple ways: when we smile, others can’t help but smile back. We water our flowers, and they smile back by giving us the most gorgeous blossoms. We give a kind word to a stranger, their smile makes us feel good, too. Universe works in mysterious ways. The key to giving is not expect anything in return, but universe also gives it back as long as we are open in receiving. Without expectation, we may be rewarded in other ways least expected.
So, let’s sum it all up. Let’s get rid of the last pains, make a peace with our past. Let’s build a new foundation of now and future by dreaming and DOING BIG! Let’s involve and help as many people as we can. Let’s think on worldly terms. (Advanced Course of Landmark is a great resource of that).
Deepak Chopra, Tim Ferris, John Assaraf and other great authors are HUGE because they help tons of people. Why am I any different? It is a time to play a BIG GAME.
What Your Daydreams are Made of?
We all do it – once or a few times per day or at least per week. Our faces light up instantly. We travel to our dream world, although we are totally awake. We imagine what ifs, some days, if onlys. We could be such a dreamers…
Now, do we do anything about our daydreams, or we dismiss them as such and go back to reality? What is reality anyway? We are the ones who create it for ourselves. What if reality would be made of daydreams? What if we would make our daydreams come true? What would it take? Perhaps they are not that far as we think. What if we would take a little step by step and cause a ripple effect of actions and connections to make our daydreams come true? It might be a quitting job you hate, venturing out on your own, take up that dream job offer, impress a girl or guy of your dreams just by being yourself… Options are limitless.
All you have to do is:
1. Believe in yourself,
2. Trust your instincts,
3. Do not take “No” for an answer,
4. Keep going no matter what,
5. Share your dreams with others. Communication is the key. You never know perhaps someone knows someone who might be able to help you.
Daydreams might not be as far as we think. They may come true if we put some action in them.
