If you have read anything in the personal development world, virtually everyone says the same thing. Think BIG. Cast a HUGE vision for your life. Breakthrough your SMALL mindedness.
And on it goes.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love big dreams, big goals and big ideas. But there is one thing that many of those big-idea people neglect to tell you. Think BIG can lead to one very sneaky downfall.
OVERWHELM
If we only think big, the steps to get there are also…big. The gap between when you are and where you want to be are…big too. And before you know it, you have done absolutely nothing to get on your big journey.
Which is why, after you make a BIG, hairy audacious goal, the very next step is to think small. Simply ask yourself this question:
What is a tiny step I can do today to move in the direction of my goal?
Have a health goal? Download a fitness or wellness tracking app.
Have an idea for a new business? Ask a mentor to chat with you about it.
Have a challenge in your relationship? Listen to a podcast.
Want to change your finances? Read the best book you can find on money mindset.
Of course, none of these steps are the only steps you will take. But the magic of taking a tiny step will lead you to your next question:
What is a tiny step I can do today to move in the direction of my goal?
Yep. The same question. Keep asking it. Over and over until you create this wonderful thing called momentum.
Think BIG. Start small.
