Change Your Thinking and You'll Change Your Life
Have you ever sat and wondered why some people seem to turn everything they touch to gold, and others struggle year after year just to make ends meet?
Are they smarter? Plug them into any aptitude test and the answer is no.
Do they work harder? No way! They take time off for holidays with their family and to pursue their own interests.
Are they more educated? For starters, formal education in no way guarantees success. Richard Branson has dyslexia and had poor academic performances as a student.
You want to know the difference? They think BIGGER! That's it. Seems way too simple doesn't it, but it's a fact. It's not the size of one's brain that determines success ... it's the size of one's thinking.
My next burning question is that if it's that simple, why doesn't everyone think bigger? Through deep examination of my own beliefs and observing many friends, work colleagues and business associates I've learned we are influenced by the environment in which we spend the majority of our time.
Have you ever watched one crab attempt to leave the herd (or whatever a bunch of crabs is called), and climb out of a bucket? The others reach up and drag him back .... back to their level. That's how it is if you spend the majority of your time with people who think small. They are constantly trying to pull you down to their level of thinking. You'll be told "it's just not worth the effort", "you have no control over your destiny", "there's only so much room at the top". Try telling that to Mr Branson.
There are limitless spaces just waiting for people who dare to think big. People just like you. The purpose of the herd is to keep you in the herd. Kick up your heels and break free. You have enough energy within you to light up a small city. Use it to lift your mind to a new level and live the life you desire and deserve.
This is the power and magic of thinking big.
