Are You Thinking Big or Lying to Yourself?

My favorite viral video is where a Dad asks his young daughter to sit with him on camera while making a video to interview for a job. The Dad greatly exaggerates everything about himself and we see the daughter reacting to all the fibs. He says he gets up at 4am everyday, takes a 12-mile jog, and cleans the house etc… After a few minutes the kid can’t take it anymore and storms off. 

Sometimes you do have to exaggerate and fib to yourself. When you create new goals, they have to be exciting for you so you’ll be inspired to take action. Don’t be afraid to think big in your self-development journey! 

Example of Big Goals:

I’m a VISIONARY and world-class problem solver with my company XYZ so we can improve the lives of millions of customers

I’m a meditator & practice Transcendental Meditation twice a day

I have a lean, strong body, weigh 180 pounds, and train in jiu-jitsu 3 times per week

I’m the best Dad I can be

I’m a professional speaker and in-demand life coach

I earn $X per month, give 10% of my income to those in need, and have a net worth of $X

The core values of my company are to be joyful, productive, and fulfilled and I embody them every day

I enjoy abundance in all of the roles I play

I believe more every day!

Everything on this list is thinking bigger than I am - they’re all lies - that’s the point. Your goals or vision must point you towards a better place.
