It is always important to dream big. I'm talking bigger than you could imagine, bigger than anything even possible. Think about your dream job and wonder to yourself, really? is that really my ultimate dream life goal? Would this be the absolute epitome of my future? Try dreaming of starting a movement, ending consumer culture, discovering another life-sustaining planet. Telling people your impossible dreams may on the one hand make you seem like a nutter, but on the other hand, you are unique, open-minded, creative, out there, different. You are not putting yourself in a little box of societal conformity, and that is something to strive for. Then, the next important step is to forget this. Yes, forget it. You don't want to overwhelm yourself right? you are living in the now and there is no need to stress about the future. But the fact you have let yourself open up to the idea has opened your mind to new possibilities. Once you learn to let go and forget things, you provide yourself more space for focus. So, dream of changing the world, yes, the entire world. Have every single person influenced by your greatness. Once you've opened up to this idea, and then forgotten it, you can subconsciously have it in the back of your mind informing smaller, realistic actions for now. You will re-define 'changing the world' dependent on current situations. You can learn how to achieve goals all the time, but never really run out of goals to chase, and this is motivation at it's finest. |
