Thinking Big

“I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matt 17:20 NIV

Why is it so difficult to think big?

Most of us think too small and dream too little. Big ideas and plans frighten us. That is why so many people settle for being so much less than they could be and accomplish far less than they could achieve.

Goethe echoed Jesus’ truth about faith in these words: “Concerning acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth – that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too.”

It is just about as easy to accomplish a huge goal as to accomplish a puny one. But the feeling of achievement and the energy that the huge goal brings far outweighs that of a puny goal.

I invite you to think big
