“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.”
-Danny Kaye
Today is a simple message and that is to "THINK BIG" in life. It comes from Ben Carson's book titled Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence
. I would recommend reading Ben's story to fully appreciate how his life came about. From its poorest beginnings to the success he has attained. Ben is described as a man who transformed himself from a ghetto kid into the most celebrated pediatric neurosurgeon in the world. It is a book that I found inspiring and it held concepts that we can apply in our own lives.
THINK BIG
T - talent: if you recognize your talents, use them appropriately and choose a field that uses those talents, you will rise to the top of your field.
H - honest: if we live by the rule of honesty and accept our problems, we can go far down the road of achievement.
I - insight: if we observe and reflect and commit ourselves to giving our best, we will come out on top.
N - nice: if we are nice to others, others respond to us in the same way and we can give our best for each other.
K - knowledge: if we make every attempt to increase our knowledge in order to use it for human good, it will make a difference in us and in our world.
B - books: if we commit ourselves to reading thus increasing our knowledge, only God limits how far we can go in this world.
I - indepth knowledge: if we develop indepth knowledge, it will enable usto give our best to others and help to make a better world.
G - God: if we acknowledge our need for God, he will help us.
You may not agree or possibly agree completely with many of the things Ben Carson says. But what you can do is apply those things in your life that will make you the bigger and better person.
Grab hold of a greater life by thinking bigger. And remember you can not just "think" big, you have to also "act" big. Stay inspired my friends.
