INTRODUCTION
You've got to be a leader and you can't be that without thinking big. Thinking big is not the same thing as daydreaming or wishful thinking.
1. BE A PROBLEM SOLVER:
Everything that is big that we see today had once been a thought in someone's mind. What big does is solving big problems. Thinking big for me is all about solving problems...successful thinking.
Thinking big is finding the solution to problems. Solutions bring more solutions. So the key is the solution.
Great leaders have a powerful acumen for solving problems. They can foresee opportunities and even know how to achieve them and they do eventually achieve.
2. BE FOCUSED:
I really don't know how and where the following story originated but I came to learn about the following story through a Whatsapp forward and I find would an interesting read.
Martina Navratilova was once asked how she could maintain her focus, physique, and sharpness of her reflexes even at the age of 43.
She had humbly replied that there was no way for the tennis ball to know how old she was. One needs to just go for it. And it was the part of her body upon her shoulders and between her ears.
3. HAVE A GROWTH MINDSET:
And how true she was! To be big we don't really have to live in big bungalows, or ride expensive cars, or even wear flashy apparel. We really live in our minds. So it is imperative to train our minds to think big.
Well, we all live our mindsets. Our mindset is our attitude and our attitude is the outcome of the blending of genetic elements inherited and the way we perceived our sensory experiences.
Education is all about neutralizing negative attitudes and mindsets. Education is all about learning to be rational, discerning. Education corrects inherited flaws and the subconscious acquisition of faulty perceptions. Have a growth mindset.
4. BE A GREAT PLANNER & ORGANISER:
This is how we get to learn how to think big, that is thinking like a leader. Thinking big requires one to first know his or her life goals and thinking rationally, planning, organizing, and executing with vigour and enthusiasm.
No one can really transcend their goal. You will have to work your way up step by step. So thinking big is meticulous planning.
5. BE HUMBLE:
To be thinking big is thinking humane. David J Schwartz in his book, Magic of Thinking Big, says that thinking big is to treat people well no matter the level of your address. Thinking big is having the ability to give a benefit of the doubt to people you confront in life and being patient.
Thinking big is being confident; not merely believing in your being confident or mouthing the word a million times within. When your thought evokes a feeling of real confidence you will know by the goose-bumps you get on your skin. You experience very special energy.
And lastly but certainly not the least, thinking big is being courageous to face your faults or weaknesses and being honest.
Thinking big is ignoring those people who hate you. Let them. The way they think is their problem. Bless them that they overcome their problems.
SUMMARY
To summarise, thinking big is going through the entire process to reach your goal and not skipping even the smallest bit. The bit that you skip is going to be your pothole on your path to glory. Leave nothing to default. Be mindful of what you do.
-The End-
Awesome
