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.

Love brings love. Help brings help. If you want to get ahead in your life, if you want to grow, if you want to change your world, you must help other people change their lives. If you want people to help you, to do something for you, to give you love, to make you a better person, you must put people first.

People like to help other people. Human beings are good. It doesn’t matter how many times you have helped other people. Keep helping people. The world needs helpers. The world needs dreamers. You can’t do everything by yourself. You need a mentor. You need someone to show you the way to where you are going. Why is that? Because if you don’t know where you are going, you will arrive at the wrong destination.

And to get yourself back, you need someone who loves you. You need someone who can really tell you what you need to hear. You need someone who is not afraid to talk to you. You need to hear the truth. When it comes to your growth, you need to hear the truth from your mentor. Truth comes from love. Truth comes from acceptance.

If you want to grow, you need other people. You can’t do everything by yourself. You can do something, but you can’t do everything. And don’t even try to be everywhere. Because if you do, you are going to end up at the wrong place. And if you are nowhere, you will never grow. So if you want to become who you were created to be, you need to put people first. When you put people, they will put you first. No matter how small or big, always try to do something to lift people up. According to Claude M. Bristol, “Always try to do something for the other fellow and you will be agreeably surprised how things come your way- how many pleasing things are done for you.”

People don’t want material things; they just want someone to be there for them. They want love. They want someone who will love and accept them for who they are. They want people who will lift them up. They don’t want to hang out with someone who is always putting them down. They don’t want to be around someone who is abusive. From today, always try to do something positive every day. If you do, you will always attract positive things into your life.
