Thinking Big Makes You Bigger

During this morning’s workout, I listened to Tim Ferriss interviewing Arnold Schwarzenegger. So many takeaways. Going over my notes, the 30:19 minute mark really spoke to me.

Thinking big isn’t about arrogance; it’s about ambition.

The universe doesn’t hand out opportunities to the timid.

When you think big, you broadcast your aspirations to the world and, in turn, attract opportunities in kind. It’s an audacious loop: big thoughts drive big actions, leading to bigger results and bigger self-perception. It’s a virtuous cycle: ambition begets success, and success reinforces ambition.

Here’s the thing — great minds aren’t content with small slices; they want the entire pie. And more often than not, they get a sizable chunk. So, channel your inner titan. Dream beyond the horizon. Your mindset dictates the size of the playground you operate in. Go big or go home. Remember, in the market of life, fortune favors the bold. Think big, become bigger.
