Typically, when you ask someone what they want to do with their life, you get pretty generic answers such as wanting to be a teacher, doctor, banker, etc. It seems like the days of having grand dreams are over. No one thinks outside of the box when it comes to their careers anymore.

As kids our imaginations were grand and we operated in pure optimism. They were no limits to what we thought we could do and we went through life happily chasing our dreams. At some point in life, we are hit with this thing called reality and it effectively puts in our mind that thinking big is not feasible. Instead of traveling the world and learning various cultures, we are taught that success means having a four bedroom house, two cars, a family and a steady nine to five job. For some, that might an optimal way to live, but, for many, this is miserable.

Thinking big rather than small makes life a whole lot sweeter. You can turn any situation into a fun one no matter how glum the mood is. By thinking big, you are effectively deciding to see the best in every situation. You are not chained down by negativity, stigmas or any other self-limiting beliefs. By thinking big, you are embracing optimism allowing to make the most out of nothing. This optimism makes you a magnet to people as your positivity inspires them.

When you constantly think small, you become a Debbie Downer and nobody wants to be that or around it. I implore you to please open your mind and let your imagination run free, the results will be innumerable and well worth it.
