One of the most important characteristics that separate the successful people from the unsuccessful is their thinking.
Successful people always choose to think big. They dream big. They imagine themselves playing it big.
When you are looking for a job and you get the chance to work at BIG company and another small, not-so-famous company, which one will you go for?
Most people are conditioned to think small because of what they have been told and experienced in life. They tried to go big but failed. They tried to pursue their big dreams, but their parents, teachers, and friends told them to be realistic.
When you are still a child, your parents told you that you can’t do this and you can’t do that. When you raised your hand and asked a question in class, you get ridiculed when the question sounded a little silly.
All these experiences and what others have told you made you into someone who doesn’t dare to think big and dream big.
The good news is that you’re an adult right now. And you can take control of your own thinking. You can choose to think big or to shrink. You’re the one to decide on how you want to live your life.
So if you are going to think big, here are 7 ways that can help you expand your mindset and make you a big thinker.
- Expand your thinking through reading
Another great way you can transform yourself into a big thinker is to read more.
We’re often confined by our own knowledge. For example, you have no idea how a place will look like until you have read about it, heard about it, or visited the place yourself.
And reading is one of the easiest methods that can transform your thinking. - Visualize the possibilities
Your thinking starts with your imagination. And since you are going to be thinking anyway, you might as well just think big.
Imagine and visualize the positive possibilities. Think about all the good things that can happen to you.
Stop letting your fear of success or the fear of failure to stop you. Instead, choose to dream about the possibilities that life can offer.
10X your thinking
If you want to think big, you must 10X your thinking. What is your income goal? 10X that goal. What kind of success are you looking for? You need 10X the results you want.
Many people are living far below their expectations because they think small. They don’t have big dreams.
In order to think big, you must get rid of your limitations. Stop putting a roadblock that stops you from thinking big.
Most people are chained by roadblocks such as they think that they don’t have the time, they don’t have the money, they don’t have the skills or knowledge, etc.
The problem is that what you want to achieve is in the future, but you are gauging your ability based on your current situation. And you must not think it this way.
Yes, you may be poor right now and you may not have many successes in your life now, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t be successful.
Thus, don’t let these limitations stop you. Instead, choose to think beyond these limitations. After all, your limitations are just temporary.
If you think that you are poor and you don’t have the money, it doesn’t mean that you will stay poor forever. The situation is just temporary and you can change the situation.
If you think that you don’t have the skill or you are not good enough, you can always commit to learning and improving. - Think long-term
People think small because they are thinking short-term. When you think short-term, you basically limit yourself of what you can achieve.
Success will never come to you overnight. You need to think long-term in order to think big.
You have to understand that every big success comes from small achievements. Every master was once a beginner.
This is why to think big, you must go long-term.
Long-termed thinking takes you out of your comfort zone. It attracts bigger opportunities and makes you grow. - Be curious to explore, dream, and discover
Here’s a famous quote that I like a lot from Mark Twain:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
The above inspiring quote said it wisely. You have nothing to be afraid. So just throw off the bowlines and sail away from your safe harbor.
Dare to explore, dream and discover.
You must always be curious to explore, discover, and dream. What if you have the potential to live your dream life but you choose to play it small all these while?
You will never know what you are capable of until you do it.
You must maintain your desire and keep your drive high. More importantly, always be curious to learn, to explore, and to discover.
And when it comes to thinking, choose to think big. That’s how you can attract big success in your life.
Conclusion
Your ability to think big and to stick to your thinking is one of the most important factors that will determine your success in life.
People who choose to dream small and play it safe will never achieve great success in life.
Hence, choose to think big, my friend. Choose to play it big.
