Think BIG


The thing about the Universe is it knows no limits. Humans are experts on limited thinking. If there was a degree programme available in thinking small and talking ourselves out of things, we'd all get first class honours. Sometimes the reason we don't get what we want is because we simply don't think big enough. Imagine I gave you an unlimited budget and told you to go buy yourself a treat. There is no limits to the size of the treat, or the cost of the treat, but still you come back with a relatively small treat, you go for the sensible option. You don't feel satisfied because its not really what you wanted, its just what you felt you should get. The universe scratches its head for a while, wondering why on earth you've gone and bought something so small when you could have had literally anything. 

People go for jobs with limited salaries, thinking that's all they can get, but the universe is unlimited, it knows no limits so why limit yourself in this way? We're brought up not to be silly, to choose hard work over easy living, that hardship is what matters. Why do we do this? Why do we think that there are limits on us and what we can achieve, sometimes even on what we are worth? That we have to be perfect in order to be lovable. Why is this? Who told us this has to be like this? Probably well meaning if somewhat misguided parents. They were brought up to believe similar things themselves, and have watched the ways others have worked. They have lost the ability to daydream, to think big, to plot and plan and see what is possible. So start today and live the dream, stop listening to those who tell you its not possible. Show them that they are wrong, that things are possible, that you really can live the dream
