How To Think Big, In Work And Life ?

To me, it is only by recognizing our SELF-WORTH that we are able to break through the limitations we’ve set for ourselves. Just think that you can conquer the world and put your hundred% into whatever endeavor you are involved in, and you can touch the New Horizons both in PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL life. Always remind yourself that Yours is the energy that makes your world and enables you to think big.

 

Think Big

Even if you fail,

never and never hesitate

to try again and again

until the world ends. 

 

Think Big

You can always do it;

never and never give in.

Wherever you put your will,

there's lies a unique way.

 

Think Big

Never follow a trend, 

you're not sure where it ends. 

Even when it suits your friends,

always think twice about it.

 

Think Big

When you are confuse.

Never let anything stop you; 

there's always a clue 

when you step up to every challenge.

 

Think Big

Nothing good comes easy.

If you wanna earn it,

you must implore your tenacity

from beginning to the very end.

Think Big

"You’re not where you work and your work is not you."

How To Think Big, In Work And Life

How can we break through the limitations we’ve set for ourselves? That’s whatMichael Port, author of The Think Big Manifesto, wants to know. “Sometimes we assign the role of ‘Big Thinker’ to some people, but we don’t necessarily see ourselves in that role,” he says. Often, that’s because of “voices of judgment” – either negative peers and colleagues telling you why something will never work, or (even more damaging) your own internalized voice, telling you the same thing.

But in order to truly thrive, he says, we have to let go of our self-imposed limitations – I can’t talk to that person; she’ll never hire me; that idea is too risky – and give things a try. Here are four of his best strategies to get going and expand your horizons now.

Get Comfortable with Discomfort. Port tries to practice what he preaches. When he was recently asked to give a speech to an audience of 3000 in Australia, he could have delivered a standard keynote address. Instead, he decided to hark back to his days as a professional actor and use the talk as an opportunity to develop an entirely new type of speech – a one-man show with music, film clips, and more. “I’m trying to do something I’ve never seen anyone do in a keynote before, ever, and if I pull it off, it’ll be brilliant, and if not, I’ll bomb, and there’s not a lot in between,” he says. “The best performers are the ones who take the biggest risks, and the performer who raises the stakes high enough is the one who is generally most compelling.”

Set the Right Kind of Goals. Some believe that “thinking big” means you should set wildly ambitious stretch goals to inspire yourself to greater heights. Port doesn’t buy that argument, however. “We sometimes set unrealistic goals for ourselves, and as a result, we’re miserable,” he says. “We’re looking for a level so high, we can never be satisfied.” He recalls the launch of his first book, the extremely popular Book Yourself Solid. “We started the launch at 9 a.m.,” he recalls, “and by 11 a.m., it was the #3 bestselling book on Amazon. Then it went to #2 and stayed there for three days. It was behind Dr. Oz’s book, which was onOprah all week, and we were bummed because we weren’t #1. That’s because we had unrealistic expectations and I felt like I’d failed.” Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by setting ambiguously huge goals, says Port. Instead, “set a specific goal that’s actually attainable.”

 

Find Supportive Colleagues. Having a strong, positive peer network is crucial, he says. But that doesn’t mean having a team of yes men. “There’s a balance we need to find,” he says. “Often, when we’re asking people to support us, we’re just asking for approval. But if we’re looking for results, we have to be comfortable with the feedback of people asking us to think bigger.” He cites his own example preparing for the talk in Australia. He invited a friend to critique his performance and she told him she didn’t think the opening – which he’d spent 20 hours perfecting – didn’t work. It was painful to hear, but ultimately helpful. “We think of supportive people as people who say yes. But if you’re really looking for people to push you, you want them to say, ‘That’s great and I think you could improve this.’”

Become the Person Others Want to Help. “Other people determine whether or not we’re successful,” says Port. Thinking big requires understanding that the biggest and most meaningful projects simply can’t be accomplished on your own. “Other people are going to open the doors and spread your messages.” So how can you get others involved and inspired to help? It’s all about attitude and reliability, he says. “You make commitments and fulfill them, you learn in action, and you deal with [your own] voices of judgment without being critical of others.”

Fundamentally, says Port, we need to develop an attitude of constantly learning and trying new things. His new speech/performance  “is amazing to try because it’s something I’ve never done, and it’s pushing beyond what’s expected,” he says. “It’s really scary.” But in teaching workshops on public speaking, a major fear for many people, he realized the importance of testing his own limits. “If I’m asking people to take these risks,” he says, “I’ve got to take the biggest risks of all.

 

How to Think Big

 

"Why limit yourself?" The old man looked at me unwaveringly. He was a client I'd helped hypnotically control his blood pressure. He had shown a great deal of interest in my therapy business. "Think big, Mark! Why only see eight people a week when you can teach one hundred, a thousand others to do what you do who could, in turn, each see eight troubled souls a week? 8,000 people a week!"

I will never forget that conversation. It was the seed that germinated into flowering possibility and action. Fifteen years on, and my business partner and I have trained thousands face-to-face and reached millions online.

"Whatever you dream or believe you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it," as I believe someone once said. But…

What does it really mean to think big?

If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, an idea to develop, or even your own raw talent to use, then you owe it to yourself – and to others – to increase its scope. Why settle for anything less than the full potential of what you can do with it?

But, as I discovered, thinking big needs:

• Vision. To think big, you need to see big.
• Courage. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
• Thick skin. If what you have in mind is at all worth doing, then others will express doubts about it along the way.

The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision, the courage takes care of itself. When you can see, hear, and feel your vision, then you simply have topursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.

If you suspect you've been thinking too small, here are seven tips to help you think bigger.

1) Remember everything starts small

Rome wasn't built in a day; in fact, it started as a few hillside hamlets. Actually, the whole human race was once half a dozen scattered tribes in Africa. Microsoft began as a backroom business. Richard Branson started his empire using a public phone box as his office.

Everything starts out small. If we are to believe the astrophysicists, then everything around us – the whole Universe – originated from a form smaller than you can possibly imagine. So it doesn't matter where you are at present because from small beginnings come great things.

2) Think bigger by enlisting others

Okay, Rome wasn't built in a day; neither was it built by just one person. The biggest thinkers get other people to dream their dreams and enact their plans for them.

Thinking big means taking yourself out of the picture, at least to some extent. Trying to do everything on your own will keep things small.

Not every home computer was sold over the counter by Bill Gates. Henry Ford certainly didn't make and sell all his own cars personally. And J.K. Rowling didn't publicise, print, and bind the 400 million plus Harry Potter books that have sold.

To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you at certain aspects of what you are developing. If you're not the most organized person, don't just lament the fact; find someone who is über-methodical.

Big thinkers know their personal limitations. Gather people around you who can do what you can't to ensure your dream grows.

3) Think big by focussing on future regrets

Every day I think about the words of the writer Sydney Smith:

"A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort."

It's a cliché to say: "We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn't." But unless you see how far you can take something, you'll never know how far it could have gone. You'll always be wondering.

If you have big plans (or even not so big ones), just close your eyes – right now. Yes, right now! And strongly imagine not having even tried; never even having attempted properly and looking back in ten years' time and wondering: "What if…"

4) Feel it your human duty to think big

When something is potentially a real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. I'm thinking mass immunization, clean drinking water, and decent education. But even if what you have to offer isn't Nobel Peace Prize material, it still pays to think big. When I started out as a hypnotherapist, I worked locally with people. Now, with my various websites, I find I can help people with anxiety, depression, and other difficulties all over the world. If local people appreciate what you do, then it's likely you'll have an international audience, too. This leads naturally to…

5) Now, more than ever, is big-thinking time

Mass communication and the huge proliferation of internet use over the last decade means that a global market or audience has never been easier. Now it's natural to think globally rather than just locally. The internet is made to facilitate big thinking. Whatever you are aiming at, the effects can be magnified and reproduced worldwide. So the question is: "Why on Earth not think big?" But thinking big is also a habit you can develop:

6) Create big thoughts

Unless you can clearly conceive great things for your enterprise, you won't get there. Become used to sitting down and envisaging in great detail exactly what your goal is. How your ideas will look, sound, and feel once they are realized. How will lives be changed? What will people say about your global phenomena? What will you be doing day-to-day and how will it all hang together? Who will be working on it? What exactly will they be doing? Roger Elliott, his wife Lyndsay Swinton, and I sat down before we began our business and planned out exactly how we wanted it to look in one year, five years, and beyond. We linked fantasy to practical goal planning, and all I can say is that we under-estimated how far we could take our business.

So to really get things moving, do the following exercise…

7) Use the "time machine exercise"

A warning: There is a danger of getting so taken up with fantasies of success that by the time it actually comes to taking the first steps, all the momentum is lost. If you spend hours strongly imagining having won the lottery, eventually the thought of actually having to go buy your ticket seems almost mundane.

So visualize all the steps needed to complete your dreams. You can do this exercise with another person.

• Make believe you have reached the stage where your dream has "gone big." (Or let me help you with this part by clicking on the free audio below)
• Now get the other person to question you as to how exactly you arrived at where you are now (in make-believe land).
• Your friend needs to be relentless, almost as if trying to catch you out. "What was your very first step to becoming this successful? How did you get the initial money? Who helped you? What are their names? What happened next? What colour is the door of your international office? How much is the rent there?"
• Your job is to be as convincing as possible in your answers. Pretty soon you'll find it start to feel amazingly real to you. Your friend's job is to ask as many practical questions as possible. This links fantasy to practicality in a very powerful way.
• As you reply, get your friend to write down all the steps, put them in chronological order, and number them. He can also ask "negative questions" like: "What was the hardest thing about all this? What have you had to sacrifice?" (TV watching? PlayStation?) But also: "What does it feel like now?" and: "What's the best thing about having realized your dream in this way? Describe your typical day now."
• Now close your eyes whilst your friend talks you slowly through each step that you have drawn up together. Strongly imagine, as if seeing yourself in a movie, completing all the steps that you had envisaged during the "fantasy interrogation." Once you have done this, it will become much more likely that you will begin to actualize the real steps toward creating your ultimate goal, rather than just endlessly fantasizing about life once you've arrived.

 

 

There are no set rules to thinking big. It's all in the mind. So best thing you can do is let your mind wander around and conceive new ideas. Always reserve some time for yourself, what I call as "Me time". Brainstorm with you own self. 

So all you need to have is the confidence (some might call it ego) to dream big things. Just set your mind free and you are there. Don't hold back, that's the key. Don't let anyone tell you it cannot be done. You will never know until you try or even research on your own. Success is achieving your dreams, so better keep your dreams big. If you think small your successes will be small and life doesnt throw many opportunities your way. So make the most out of it.

As Donald Trump once said- If you would be thinking anyway, you might as well Think Big 

Here is my view and suggetions:

• Car lights covers up to3 kms at night but it takes you from Salalah to Muscat ( kms)
• Anything BIG you want in life is waiting for you outside of your comfort zone.
• Success is not determined by the size of the brain one has but by the size of one’s thinking.
  • Ever ask yourself, " What is my greatest weakness?” Probably the greatest human weakness is self-deprecation – that is selling oneself short.
    • John sees a job ad exactly what he would like. But he does nothing about it because he thinks, ‘I’m not good enough for that job.”
    • Jim wants a date with Joan, but he doesn’t call her because he thinks he wouldn’t rate with her.
    • Tom feels Mr. Richards would be a very good prospect for his product, but Tom doesn’t call, as he feels Mr. Richards is too big to see him.
    • Peter while filling his job application, he puts down a modest figure for the question “what beginning salary do you expect?” because he feels not really worth the bigger sum that he would like to earn.

 

• Here is an exercise to help you measure your true size.

1. Determine your five chief assets. Invite some objective people to help – Bro/Sis, Wife, Friends or Colleagues who shall give honest opinion. Assets may include – education, experience, technical skills, appearance, well adjusted home-life, attitudes, personality, initiatives etc.,
2. Next, under each asset, write the names of three persons you know who have achieved large success but didn’t have asset as great a degree as you.
3. When you completed this exercise, you will find you outranked many successful people on at least one asset. Here is only one conclusion you can honestly reach: You’re bigger than you think. So, fit your thinking to your true size. Never sell yourself short.

• Starting small thinking BIG
• The mind is in its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven. 
• There is nothing either good or bad except that thinking makes it so
• But where does the proof come from? How do we know the master thinkers were right? Fair questions! The proof comes from the lives of the select
  • There is nothing in a Caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be butterfly
  • The eagle story of flying high
  • Harry earned five times the average – but found not five times - smarter than the rest; didn’t work harder than the rest; didn’t have territory than the rest; didn’t educate than the rest; didn’t have health than the rest but did think five times BIGGER than the rest.

 

If thinking BIG accomplishes so much, why doesn’t everyone think that way? All of us more than we recognise, are product of the thinking around us.  And much of thinking is little, not BIG. All around us is an environment that trying to tug / pull down. Anyone reading this proves you are interested in larger success through thinking BIG. You want to fulfil your desires. You want to enjoy a fine standard of living. You want this life to deliver to you all the good things you deserve/aimed. You have another admirable quality of reading this think BIG magically. Think BIG to live BIG. Start now, right now, to discover how to make your thinking make magic for you. Life is too short to be little, so think start thinking BIG.

Thanks Dear

Fully agree with your great answer .

 

Think positive.

Can't say more then this, it need a long debate and as its also related to human psychology, so definitly, need to discuss all aspects of that too.

In short, want to fly high, think positive and believe in your self.

Yes, 

That important  for save lives  of others.
