I wonder what life would be like if….
These words changed my life and let me image what I could do differently. These words allowed me to dream bigger.
I keep a post-it note on my desk next to my computer that reads “You are operating no-where near your potential” as a reminder to myself I can always do more.
Dan Miller of the 48 Days to the Work You Love podcast ran a challenge in August of 2022. Listen to the Strangest Secret audio by Earl Nightingale every day for 30 days, make a notecard outlining exactly what it is you want to accomplish over the 30 days, and take action towards that single, definite, goal.
While I did not do this in August with the other 48 Days listeners I did give myself this challenge, and when I did I gleaned so much from it after only a few listens and I started listening to it 2 and sometimes 3 times a day. I also began telling everyone about it and encouraging them to listen and take the challenge themselves.
The Strangest Secret was a game changer for me. The Strangest Secret helped me to dream bigger in my life.
The biggest part is towards the end where these steps are outlined;
- Set yourself a definite goal.
- Quit running yourself down.
- Stop thinking of all the reasons why you cannot be successful and instead think of all the reasons why you can.
- Trace your attitudes back through your childhood and try to discover where you first got the idea you couldn’t not be a success if that is the way you’ve been thinking.
- Change the image you have of yourself by writing out a description of the person you would like to be.
- Act the part of the successful person you have decided to become.
Shonda Rimes says “If you are in the room it is because you belong there. Act like it.”
I made the notecard outlined in The Strangest Secret (and also in Think And Grow Rich) and saw so many things came to fruition as a result. Now, moving into the new year, I am dreaming bigger than ever before.
