How to Think Big

Geoffrey Ulrich
Every time I hear people say that something is beyond their wildest dreams I have to laugh because with me there's nothing beyond my wildest dreams. But then I have some pretty wild dreams. Although it does take some work.

Firstly, I think about something. Whatever I happen to be thinking about at the time, but something simple like how long it'll take me to walk into town or something.

Secondly, I remind myself that my imagination can get me to town much faster than walking if I let it. Well, I don't put it quite so formally, but I do allow my mind a great deal of latitude and flexibility in its musings.

Thirdly, I think medium. I start in reality so I don't try to go too far too fast because that would be crazy, but I can at least imagine running thirty miles per hour, thank you very much.

Fourthly, I think big. If I could run thirty miles an hour then how fast could I sprint? And what if it was all downhill? And what if I wore one of those wing suits that lets you jump off of cliffs and glide around for a while? And what if I didn't need a suit at all or even a running start for that matter? And what if I could teach other people how to fly and I open up my own flying school and become a multi-trillionaire overnight? Or maybe just encourage others to believe they could fly too or at the very least could think big?
