Think Big

Thinking is one of the greatest assets given to us by God. With our ability to think, we can change our fortune. We can think our way out of poverty and into prosperity. We can think our way from defeat to victory.

God gave us the brain so that we can use it to solve problems. Our brain is for creativity, success, achievement, happiness and fulfillment.

The major problem we have is not really the problems confronting us or the unpleasant condition we are in, but our reluctance to think our way out of those problems.

In their book, Success Through Positive Mental Attitude, William Clementstone and Napoleon Hill narrated the story of a man who was paralysed from the top to the bottom and was bedridden.

In this difficult condition that the man was, he called members of his family for an important discuss. He then explained to them that considering his condition, he could not walk or do anything anymore, but he could think. 

He told them that they should be his hands and legs while he would be the brain. He would be doing all the thinking while they would be implementing his plans and strategies. Right in his sick bed, he hatched a great business plan and started dishing out instructions to members of his family. They carried out the instructions to the letter and in a short while, they built a large business empire!

Think Prosperity Thoughts

Dear reader, as long as you have a sound mind and you are willing to sit down and think, there is no limit to what you can achieve in life. Research conducted some time ago reveals that successful people think about what they want to achieve all the time; while unsuccessful people always think about their problems and everything that is going wrong with their lives.

The Book of Success, the Bible says, “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he (Prov 23:7).” Dear reader what thoughts are you thinking right now? As you think in your heart, so you are. You are what you think all day long. NOTE THAT THE QUALITY OF YOUR THOUGHTS DETERMINES HOW FAR YOU CAN GO IN LIFE.

The paralysed man in the story above did not, in his sick bed, continue to dwell on the worse condition he was in, rather, he thought positively and thought prosperity thought. In his thought, he rose bigger and higher than his bedridden condition.

YOU ARE NOT YET A BREADWINNER UNTIL YOU BECOME A GREAT THINKER. THE STARTING POINT TO BEING A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN IS THE ABILITY TO GENERATE GREAT IDEAS NECESSARY FOR THE COMFORT AND WELL BEING OF MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY.

Plan Big

More often than not, we allow unpleasant situation to limit our thinking and planning. We need to learn from the paralysed man.  Although he was paralysed and could do nothing, yet he could think. As long as he could think, he was still productive. He thought big and planned big and as such, he became super successful.

Dear reader, NO MATTER THE CONDITION YOU ARE IN, IF YOU CAN THINK BIG AND PLAN BIG, YOU WILL NEVER REMAIN A BURDEN TO ANYONE. RATHER THAN BEING A BURDEN, YOU WILL BECOME JOB CREATOR ON WHOM A SIZABLE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WILL DEPEND.

IF YOU WANT TO BE BIG, PLAN BIG. Don’t plan small. Don’t let unpleasant circumstances to paralyse your ability to plan big. Don’t let fear make you think small thoughts. Refuse to be overwhelmed by your emotion. Uncontrolled emotion is a destroyer of destiny. When negative feelings show up, don’t let them influence you to make small plans. Plan bigger, plan higher!

Like the paralysed man, SO FAR YOU ARE OF A SOUND MIND AND YOU ARE WILLING TO THINK BIG AND PLAN BIG, YOU WILL RISE ABOVE ALL UNFAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CONFRONT YOU.

Think Bigger Than the Present Condition

No condition can limit you in this world unless you permit it to limit you. It is not circumstances that limit people mostly; the main thing that is holding people down in defeat is their unwillingness to think beyond their present condition. All they think and worry about is the unpleasant condition they are undergoing.

But you know what? You can never rise above any unpleasant condition by continuing to worry about it. Don’t drown yourself in self-pity. IF YOUR CONDITION DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO THINK AND YOU ARE READY TO THINK POSITIVELY, YOU WILL GENERATE BIG IDEAS NECESSARY FOR YOUR VICTORY OVER THE UNFAVOURABLE CON DITION.

So, what you need do to rise above unfavourable condition is to THINK. Think big. Think great thoughts. The greater your thought, the higher you go in life. IF YOU WANT TO BE BIG, THINK BIG THOUGHT.

Also think victory all the time and as you do so, you will generate ideas that will make you live a victorious life all your life!
