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.

Age Does Not Matter

We usually make excuses to sabotage ourselves.  We think we are too young or too old to do anything.  When we are the kids, we can’t wait to grow up, so we would be allowed to do something we wish.  We can’t wait for that freedom.

Yet, when we grow up we completely forget what we were after.  We get overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities, and at times we even forget who we really are.  We do everything to pay the bills, take care of partner, kids, parents.  We bury our dreams deep and we do not even have time to look at them.

Time flies so fast.  We get in older years, and now we regret of not taking chances.  We make now excuse that we are too old.  We wasted our time.  What we do not realize is that age does not really matter.  We can achieve anything we wish regardless.  All we have to do is to act on our dreams.  Dreaming alone does not do anything.  We got to back it up with actions.

Here are some inspiring videos from Britain’s Got Talent that shows that anything is possible, no matter how young or old you are:

How Much You’re Worth?

Take time to think this question…

We’re usually so wrapped up in everyday worries, responsibilities, bills, other people, we’re hardly have time to think about ourselves.  Days go so fast, even years fly by.  We usually put our dreams on the back burner, in the farthest corner, stuff them in the draw and forget about them.

“We’ll get to them when we’ll have time.” However, that time never comes…

Think again, “How much you’re worth?”  Are you worth your dreams?  Does your dream seem so far to you?  Do you feel overwhelmed, thinking how much you have to do to reach your dream?  What if, you are going to take one little step forward right now?  What that would take?  Step by step, one chance at the time.  As you usually schedule important tasks, schedule your dreams.  Skip watching TV if you have to.  You are worth everything what your heart wishes.  Do not put off your dreams any longer.

1) Identify them,

2) Take first step – even a small one,

3) Be persistent to take next steps.

You’ll be surprised how one little action will cause a ripple effect of other actions.

Most importantly, share your dreams with others.  Ignore the ones that criticize you.  Take ones in who support you.  You never know, somebody may knows somebody who knows somebody who may help you to achieve your dreams.

Take a first step now…

Circumstances

Circumstances…  What are they, anyway?  Do they define who we are?  Do they define our destiny?  Do they control where and what we want to be?  Or, they are just excuses in our mind not to do things we want to do?

There might be infinite circumstances (illness, financial problems, dysfunctional family, bad relationships, unfair work environment, difficult childhood, etc., etc.) that seemingly we cannot control.  We go about life blaming our circumstances that we cannot achieve things we want to achieve.

We do not realize that all this is just voluntary blocks we put on our dreams.  They are just excuses.  It is so easy to blame our life’s circumstances.  It seems so reasonable.

We all have our minds, right?  So, why we let circumstances to control us instead we control our circumstances?

A few examples of people who despite very difficult times, achieved unbelievable are:  Christopher Reeve, Oprah Winfrey, Coco Chanel, Ed Roberts, Chris Gardner.
