You don’t have to think small to be big. According to Claude M. Bristol, “You have to think big to be big.” You want to do great things in your life. You love talking about success. You want to hang out with successful people. You love them. You can’t stop talking about them. It is good to admire them for what they have achieved for themselves. But the question is: Why are you here? What are your dreams? What do you want to accomplish in your own life? That is what you should be thinking about.

You can’t think about your future without thinking big. And it requires you to be brave, tough, and smart. It requires you to be brave, not timid.

And you can’t do that by thinking small. You can’t achieve greatness by doing small things, by thinking small, by acting small, by living small. You can’t move past your fears by hiding in your comfort zone. You can’t better your life by refusing to let go of your past mistakes. If you want to get big things done in your life, you must learn to think big. Don’t let your fears stop you from thinking big. Do not spend your life focusing on doing small things. Remember, big things come from doing big things. Successful people thinks big thoughts. They think big. They don’t play with their lives. Yes, it is not easy to change overnight. But if you really want to change yourself, it starts with thinking big. Great things never come from thinking small. So if you want big things, think big, not small.

Robert Collier said, “If you don’t make things happen then things will happen to you.” You have what it takes to make things happen for you, not to you. It is important to make things happen, to make your dreams come true, to check where you are. To do that, you need to be honest with yourself. You need to tell yourself what you need to hear. If not, you will never grow.

“If you believe you can make things happen for you, you can.”

When it comes to your growth, you have what it takes to create the life you want for yourself. You can create your life. All you need to do is to tell yourself the truth. Don’t lie about where you are right now. Jim Stovall says, “The most destructive lies we ever tell are those we tell ourselves.” We lie to ourselves to cover our troubles. If you want to get to the next level, you must stop telling yourself lies. If you don’t stop, you will remain where you are.

To leave where you are, you must make things happen for you, not to you. You have what it takes to do it. You have what it takes to change your life. You are stronger, smarter, better than you think you are. All you need to make things happen for you is to determine where you want to go, what you want, and how to make things happen. And don’t forget to assess where you are right now. It is important. Because if you want to know yourself, you must have the courage to question yourself.

The right questions will give you the right answers. To face yourself, you must first believe that you can win. You must believe that you have what it takes to take the first step. It is the first step that separates the doers from the talkers. It is the first step that separates successful people from unsuccessful people. It is the first step that separates winners from losers. So if you want to make things happen for you, you must learn the act of taking the first step. It matters. Are you ready to take the first step?
