Introduction
T he size of your thinking determines the size of your results, your future, and your life. If we can learn to think bigger, live bigger, act bigger, and be bigger, our results are going to be bigger. So will our influence in the world and the universe. How we feel about ourselves will be bigger and better. I want everyone to know how to think big, act big, live big, be big, and get big results.
The benefit of thinking big is enormous. I watched my father go through life saying, All I want to do is be a good provider for my family. He was, and theres nothing wrong with that, but if I could have instilled in him the ability to think big, instead of having one little bakery and working eighteen hours a day, he could have worked two or three days a week or had a week off every month. He could have had more of a life, more joy with his family, more mind freedom, money freedom, and time freedom than he could even have imagined.
Its all available to you. Im asking you to go on a little journey through this book. Ill give you some principles, some ideas, techniques, and strategies for thinking bigger and living bigger.
Let me introduce you to some of the worlds biggest and best thinkers. Let me be a gadfly that challenges you to be more than you ever thought it could be. In the last chapter, Im going to talk about realizing Camelot. King Arthur wanted to create that idyllic spot, but each and every one of us can realize our respective Camelots.
Nothings too good for you. Youre entitled to think big. Youre entitled to achieve better than your best. Im cheering you on to a greater, grander, nobler, more important, meaningful, and worthwhile future than you ever expected, so you can leave a legacy that is lasting, purposeful, and memorable.
All of us are born as little thinkers. Its normal and natural.
We come in, and everybody is thinking small, talking small, acting small, and being small. But if youll go with me through this book, hopefully it will inspire you from the inside out to really become a big thinker. Youre going to make your world wonderful, uplifted, exciting, exalted. Youre going to take yourself and all the people around you to the Garden of Eden (metaphorically speaking). Youre going to have the magic sword Excalibur in your hand, and youre going to be able to conquer things beyond what you currently believe. Youre going to get to realize Camelot in your own life. Youre to become a King Arthur.
King Arthur is obviously a legend, a metaphor, a mythsomething that never was and always is. Big thinking always is. If you are made in the image and likeness of God, then were God stuff and were good stuff; were entitled at the depth of our being to think big. When you think big, you achieve big. When you achieve big, you become a beneficial presence in universe. You make a difference. Youre worthwhile, your value expands exponentially, everybody is better off, and no ones worse off.
