Daily Leadership Thought #109 – Think BIGGER
Making noteworthy progress on anything requires you to think bigger.
It’s extremely easy to narrow our definition of what’s possible if we are not careful. In every situation, we must inevitably overcome obstacles. However, these barriers to our success should not hinder our creativity but instead ignite it. While many things may not seem probable, there is truly little that isn’t possible. As Napoleon Hill stated in his seminal book many years ago, Think and Grow Rich, “What the Mind Can Conceive and Believe It Can Achieve.”
Just think of the advances you have seen in your lifetime. People can live with artificial organs and undergo medical transplants. Medication has successfully treated many diseases that were once considered certain death sentences. We can communicate instantly with people across the globe. Practically every home has a personal computer and access to information and tools that any library from our childhood would consider impossible to store in one place. NASA is capable of exploring space in ways that are often difficult to comprehend, consistently expanding our understanding of the cosmos.
The history of mankind is the story of progress over conventional thinking. Sometimes, people had no choice but to adapt and evolve in response to their external environment to ensure their own survival. However, in most cases, it has simply been an individual or group of people who were unwilling to accept things as they were and strove to find a better way and/or answer questions about their current reality and how to make it better.
How are you approaching your life? Are you boxing yourself in by limiting your thinking about what’s possible, or are you thinking bigger about your potential and capacity for health, happiness, and success?
