14 Magical moments from the book “The Magic of Thinking Big”

- Thread -

”The Magic Of Thinking Big" has sold over 6 million copies, guides readers to set their goals high and think positively to achieve them.

David gives a step-by-step guide on how to achieve what one wants by changing their thought patterns and thought habits.

This book is a classic motivational and self-help book, which is similar to another motivational book - The Power of Positive Thinking

1. Yes, there is effort involved in striving towards your passion but the "intensity and hard work" as you put in your effort is tough only for the outsider.

For you, it would be "bliss" as you pursue what you love.

2. There is lot of competition at the top? Will that be worthwhile to reach the top? Where is the competition? Competition is all at the bottom.

At the top, you mostly stand alone. Forget about any competition at the top.

Most of the competition is relegated to the bottom of the pyramid - because that is where most people are. So, do not worry about the competition.

3. Mentors can teach us much faster than our own experiences.

They can give us a new perspective within minutes - something that may take us many years or even decades to gather.

So, always keep your mind open to what your mentor is trying to say.

4. I am going to live until i die. I am not going to get life and death confused.

Death is certain - for everyone. Life is all about your experiences till that certainty manifests itself. How do you want your journey's experience to be?

Live, chase your dream, follow your heart, smile more, help and serve more, forgive more often, and let no one let you have a poor day in this journey.

5. Your action is important, but even more important is the intent behind the action.

A seemingly wrong action may have the best intent behind it, and thus may be listed as a great deed

6. Action is the only antidote to fear. Isolate your fear. Know exactly what you are afraid of, and then take immediate remedial action.

Fear is defined as - False Evidence Appearing Real. There is always fear in the unknown - which is absolutely normal.

The key is not to take a U Turn but know more about what you fear.

The more you understand, the less you will fear. The more you ignore, your fear will keep increasing and coming back at you.

7. It works both ways. Your actions are defined and driven by your thoughts, and if you have been thinking that how do you control your thoughts, then here it is.

Force yourself into an action that you would want as the end result - and your thoughts would start following you.

8. If we think we cannot, our mind will generate excuses to support our thinking. If we think we can, our mind will generate ideas to support our decision.

For sometime, just block the impossibility and let your mind generate ideas, You will realise you have much more potential than you ever thought.

9. Eliminate the word "impossible" from your thinking, reading and speaking dictionary. This is a word for failures.

The words that you speak - with others, and with yourself - are going to define your life.

10. There is nothing final or cast in stone. There is nothing which cannot be, or should not be changed - for the better.

Never get close minded with your prior success. Unfortunately, in most cases, we would not even know that we have closed our mind.

11. As with most things, it is nothing but our thinking, that turns out to be the only constraint in what we can achieve, or finally achieve.

Our thinking pattern defines our direction and the size of thinking defines the speed at which we move towards our goals.

12. Ideas are highly perishable. They need special handling and care.

Every day, numerous new ideas are born, only to die a natural death because they are not immediately penned down on paper.

Memory is a weak slave when it comes to preserving new born ideas.

13. Action, action, action - That is the only way to implement ideas. Action removes fear.

Strong, fearless, consistent action is the only way to knock down the walls of fear that have been built around you.

14. Unless you quit what you are doing only to earn money and where you do not have your heart and soul, and follow your passion, you will never be successful, though you may be well paid and have a financially secure future.
