Think Big, Live Big

Last night I was with some big thinking friends. We talked about about many things, but conversation repeatedly came back to how we can positively effect our nation. We concluded that to touch the nation you have to touch the cities and to touch the cities, you have to touch people.

In order to do that, you have to move from thinking big to living big. It's not enough to think about something you could do, anyone can do that ...and truth be told that's as far as most people go. They look at situations they face as individuals or world issues we have to deal with together and repeatedly identify the problems. "Wow, nice work Sherlock ...I think Holmes is looking for you!"

And ...if they do take it any further, it is only to find where they can assess blame. It's like that song Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics that says, "every generation, blames the one before".

Well we could stay on the treadmill of the "blame-shame game", or we can be part of the solution - ie. THINKING BIG and LIVING BIG.

Deep down I believe everyone wants to be part of positive change. It's what we were made for, it's what we were destined for ...it's why we have the capacity to THINK BIG and LIVE BIG.

Here's where we can start...

...dream more than others think is possible;
...care more than others think is wise;
…Pray more think others think is necessary
…work more than others think is practical
...risk more than others think is safe;
...expect more than others think is reasonable.

Think Big, Live Big!
