We have got to learn to think, act, and live bigger.
58Did you know that by thinking big you’ll be able to conquer things beyond your imagination? Mark Victor Hansen says: “The size of your thinking determines the size of your results, the size of your future, and the size of your life.” In order for us to have bigger results, we have got to learn to think, act, and live bigger.
In all of the animal kingdom, human beings are the only ones gifted by God with an asset of imagination. In fact, according to Walt Disney: “Imagination is the only reality. And just look how far he’s become. Just because he used his asset of imagination to the fullest. Because he was thinking BIG.
You see, the benefit of thinking big is enormous. It’s life-changing. It’s by thinking big that we achieve BIG.
The life of Bob Proctor, the famous man from the movie “The Secret”, who is also an author, lecturer, counsellor, business consultant, entrepreneur and teacher, is a perfect example.
Bob was a high school drop-out, had a low paying job being a fire fighter and was struggling with debts.
One day he read Napoleon Hill’s book entitled “Think and Grow Rich”. The ideas he got from the book fired him up that he set a goal to earn 25,ooo dollars a year. So he started a business cleaning windows. The business was going so well and he was earning quite a lot. But still he did not reach his goal, not to mention the fact that he was exhausted…so exhausted that he collapsed on the street one day (he was doing the job all by himself).
Then he came across with an audio tape by Earl Nightingale who says: “Tell me what you want and I’ll tell you how to get it.” He was so inspired by it that he told himself: “If I can’t clean them all, I won’t do any of them at all!”
At this point Bob started thinking bigger. Since he couldn’t do the job alone, he started hiring people to do the job for him. His company was booming. It was expanding fast that he started companies in different countries. And look where he is today! Just by starting to think big he conquered the business world and created an empire.
So what really took place in the life of Bob Proctor that led to his success?
First, in every situation there’s always a solution. He had no college education nor a connection. He only had an idea.
Second, he wanted so badly to get out of his low paying job.
Third, he read the book “Think and Grow Rich” that caused his fire.
Fourth, he saw an opportunity and he made a decision to take a risk, thinking that the risk was worth the reward.
Fifth, in times of the major set-back he recognized what went wrong and made direct changes.
Sixth, he listened to his “inner voice” , got a breakthrough idea that caused dramatic change in his life.
Seventh, he sold his business (cleaning services) to several countries for fast expansion.
Eight, he discovered life-long learning materials to keep him fired up and charging forth.
The man is now in his 70’s. He’s not retiring. Instead, he’s re-firing! If Bob Proctor can, so can YOU.
