Having big thoughts should equate to taking big action, but instead, we do the opposite. We have been programmed to think that we should leave the big ideas to someone else.
Everyday, we have ideas that we don’t act upon. We politely put them aside, as if we will consider them later. Later, never comes.
Think of how it will be when your idea works – how many people it will help, the number of kids it will inspire – it is very possible to see it come to life!
Get Out Of Your Own Head
Who told you to bury your ideas? Did someone embarrass you when you were thinking out loud? Why do you think you’re not good enough?
It’s the outside talking. We were all born with greatness inside. In the past, someone told you that you weren’t good enough or that your idea was stupid.
Now, you carry this with you for the rest of your life. It’s not true – get out of your own head and focus on your idea! You’re holding yourself back because of what others might say or think.
Don’t Live Your Life In A Box
Take action to bring your idea forward – if you have a big idea, it’s going to take some big action! Stop intimidating yourself into thinking that it won’t work.
All you have to do is be resourceful. Put one foot in front of the other and move. Living in a box is self-limiting – other people may have put you there, but you must break out.
You could be spending your time around the wrong people if they don’t inspire you to grow. It’s okay to walk away from a situation that doesn’t serve you. Find a better environment that fits your goals and visions.
Thoughts = Action
That’s a formula you should remember. Your actions should align with your thoughts – if you can’t control your thoughts, you can’t control anything.
How many times have you not taken action, because of that silly, negative voice in your head? Push that voice aside and take a different approach.
If you have an idea, start coming up with a strategy, right away. Act as if you are the owner of that awesome idea (you are)! Build it out in your head, write it down or record it on your phone. That’s how you take action.
It May Not Go The Way You Expected
If your idea doesn’t go the way you expected, then you know that approach didn’t work. Turn left and start again.
It’s not supposed to go exactly right the first time you do it. This is where you build your work ethic and your discipline. Others stop here, but you will go on.
Expand your mind and explore that idea. The original idea could easily take you down another road, that could possibly lead to a more productive outcome.
Big Ideas Matter
Give it a chance. If you do your research and you start moving little pieces, something is going to happen. No idea is too big for you to create in the real world.
Don’t sell yourself short. You are better than you think. Make an attempt to get those ideas and thoughts out of your head and into existence!
Give yourself permission. Get out of that box and start. You have limitless possibilities as long as you have breath in your body. You are amazing. Now go and do some amazing things!
