Are you guilty of small thinking? I realized that I have been thinking small probably for most of my life. When we are little our dreams seem so big and we most likely start out thinking big, but for some reason as time passes we start to loose the big picture. People tell us to we can’t do such and such and we begin to believe them. That is what I believe leads us to small thinking. I have an article coming up soon that discusses brainwashing as a torture techinque, you will want to read also.
Here is something I was thinking about. A couple of years ago I was at a seminar where the host had told us we would be getting a free gift at the end of the seminar. In my little box thoughts I was hoping for a necklace or some cash back. It was little thinking!! Then when they announced what they were giving away…it was so incredible and HUGE that it still blows my socks off today, for I am still receiving the benefits of that gift today.
Fortunately now I have begun the journey of big thinking. That I am capable of anything I set my mind too. If I focus, believe, and take massive and immediate action toward my goal at some point in time I will achieve. Not that everything will come easy, sometimes we must endure along the way to learn and obtain our goals.
Sometimes I still catch myself in my little thinking brain, and when I do then I try to imagine what if and change it to the big thinking, which is also a lot more fun. So think big in all that you endeavor.
How did you look at life this morning? Maybe you approached it like I did..at first. I had gone to check one of my business websites to see how much money it had generated yesterday. Anxious of course to see money coming in. Well it was not what I had hoped or expected, it was not as much as I was craving! In my disappointment I told my self thats “okay”, and went on about my duties of the morning. Although in the back of my mind I was still thinking “only $25.00″, that is all. Even though it was Sunday and I had not done more than 15 minutes work in that business that day. Still that is all you made kept hounding me.
Well about 2 hours later as I was driving my tractor down the road to do some other work (tractor driving is a good time to think), it hit me, I suddenly realized how GRATEFUL I should be feeling for the fact that I had made any money. There are people all over the world who would love to make that much in a day. How selfish was I being and how could I say ‘thats all”!
Then I got to thinking about how far could I get that $25.00 to go… I could stretch it out pretty far. I could reinvest it and make it double. It would buy several people breakfast somewhere, someone homeless for instance could eat for a week! There is so much we can do with $25.00. It is a start and could be come something grand. Now I know how grateful I am for that amount of money.
The rest of that day and from now on I intend to look at the glass as full and not empty. Here I say full because my glass is never any longer half full! Be grateful all day for everything you have.
A sense of humor is a good thing. All I can see are keywords and keyword phrases dancing around in my head. This does not appear to be the time, it is 3:00 AM that I prefer to see them. Couldn’t they come at 6:00 or 7:00 AM? Usually when I want to get them on paper they seem to take flight and disappear. Oh, but now here they are having a rock and roll marathon.
Making money looks like stick figure entreprenuers dancing in a circle and holding hands. Then there are the $ signs strung together representing creating wealth, like a line of chorus girls doing the can-can. The band is known as strategy. It is made up of a variety of characters. There is the long haired funky peanut, the cute cranberry on drums, the skinny, tanned (roasted/sliced) almond, a walnut on sax, a sesame seed on guiter. The backup singers are full of cherries, plums, apples and tomatoes. They are representing future and present prospects, some are ready for picking/cultivating while others are still ripening on the vine and growing. While still others are sweet to the taste of success.
There is also a large crowd on the dance floor. It is all our past and current business partners, clients, customers and team mates, mentors and coaches. Enjoying the richness of life, filled with abundance, health and prosperity. They have come together to celebrate the life and wealth they all have created in the home based business industry.
This may be your day to start your life on a new journey. The day to start enjoying finacial freedom. We may not all have arrived at this point yet, but with a little effort, persistence, and stretching ourselves we can all begin on the path to this type of life. Let us each enjoy the journey and be sure to invite our friends to join us in our efforts. Think about this, what would you do if money, time and health were not an issue?
