Think BIG! Then think BIGGER!

Written by Milan Art Institute | January 9, 2023

Our capability to think big is like a terrarium for our souls. The plans and dreams we come up with within the confines of how big we think determines the borders and boundaries of our world. We live within the limitations of these borders.

Every time you begin to think big and dream beyond your circumstances, push yourself to think bigger.

Ask yourself, “How can I grow this dream? Who else can I touch? What if I could help more people?”

If you dream of having an art show in your hometown, what if your show was in the biggest city in your country? What if your show was in Paris?

If you have a goal to do a tent show this spring, what if next spring you did the New York Art Expo?

The magic of thinking big expands your plans and tactics to make it possible. You begin to problem solve at a higher level.

You ask if yourself, “What do I need to do? Who do I need to meet? What do I need to make happen?”

When we dare to dream big, we move beyond ourselves and what we feel capable of in our present level of personal development.

To achieve big things we have to change.

We have to become our better selves. We have to become more disciplined, selfless, humble, open, teachable and, best of all, allow God to work His power in our lives.

When we need God to fill in all that we are lacking, we start to meet new people, develop new skills, and hear about new opportunities. Thinking big gives ourselves the opportunity for personal growth, development, and change.

Thinking as big as we can is the first and most important piece to growth!

Our dreams and big thinking must be bigger than our problems, issues, and obstacles.

The worst thing we can do is shrink our dreams to fit our income or capabilities. 

If you want to travel to a Greek island but are considering settling for Florida because that’s all you can afford, don't!

Hold out and think big for the ways to get to the Greek island: 

  • How much do you need to earn?
  • Where can you get it? What will you need to do?
  • Who do you need to meet?

That Greek island is there as your carrot to motivate you to change, to grow, to be the kind of person who goes after what they want, and to not settle for second best.

This year is going to be great! BIG! Accelerated and multiplied!

So get a picture of whatever your Greek island is in front of you and don't take your eyes off of it. Your obstacles will shrink and not your dream.

You have greatness inside you and you can do anything you set your heart to.

This can be your banner year where you live the life you have dreamed of. Think big. Then think bigger and watch your world grow!
