To Be Big You Have To Think Big!

SUB: To Be Big You Have To Think Big!

Your brand new Mercedes will depreciate the moment you drive out of the showroom.
Your latest mobile gizmo will depreciate in value the moment you pay for it.
All materialistic things lose in value at one point of time or the other; but the only thing that is not made to depreciate is human brain.

We human beings have conditioned ourselves not to use our brains effectively as a result it keeps on depreciating year after year thereby bringing down the quality of life that we live.
By falling victim to self depreciation, knowingly or unknowingly we are committing a crime and when the court of life announces its judgment we start pitying ourselves and announce to the entire world, ‘Life is not fair to me...’

How can life be fair to you when instead of developing and concentrating on your inner assets you are busy accumulating external liabilities that you think are assets and which keeps on depreciating day by day?

I would like to share a story that I read sometime ago:

‘A man was walking down a street and was stopped by a beggar. The beggar asked him if he could spare some change. When he looked at the beggar, he found that the beggar was sitting on a peculiar type of box. The man asked the beggar what it was and the beggar replied he didn’t know. He has been sitting on it ever since he found it. He had not even bothered to look into it. The man inspires him to look into it. The beggar is more interested in the man giving him money rather than looking into an old box. But when the man insists the beggar reluctantly opens the box only to be surprised that all this long he has been sitting on a box filled with gold. The beggar had taken the box for granted and thought that the only use it could be of was to sit on it.’

We as humans too have taken our brains for granted and only make use of it to ask for more materialistic things; in doing so we miss out on the goldmine that it has in store for us.
So the million dollar question arises is how do we tap into this vast goldmine of ours?

The answer is Simple but not Easy -

To rise above the life of mediocrity you have to think big!

If You Have To Be BIG; If You Have To Grow BIG then there is only ONE Option: THINK BIG!
Now, How do we think Big?

Here are some of the GOLDEN RULES I have researched and come across. I too am religiously following these GOLDEN RULES of THINKING BIG.
Here they are:

1. You are better than you think you are. So don’t sell yourself short of anything. Even though there are people out there who are better than you, but ‘You Are The Best.’ Always Remember That!

2. See the Future, don’t get stuck in the present. It is always ‘what can be’ rather than ‘what is’.

3. Change the words you use in your communication and see the impact it has on your prospects. Instead of using ordinary words use bright and powerful words that instigates an emotion in the listener. Look for effective synonyms of the words you often use and replace them with the synonyms.

4. Your Success depends not on changing your job or your Network Marketing Company or your product; it depends on how you view your job. What is your attitude towards your present job.

5. Get out of Stuff Activities and concentrate on jobs that are really, really important for your success. Before taking up any activity stop and ask yourself, ‘Where will this activity of mine take me on my success graph?’ If it helps you in scaling your growth go ahead with it or else reject it. I remember a line from the book, ‘Good to Great’ by Jim Collins. The book starts with the line, ‘Good is the enemy of Great’.

So, Question and Reject Good things to Achieve Great Things in Life!

Happy Networking!
