It is a sad fact that for most of us, we aim too low. Whether it’s our business or our career, so often we believe that we need to have a vision that is small and easily achievable. We determine in our minds that we simply need to be realistic, because we don’t want to set ourselves up for disappointment. The truth is that our small thinking-our small vision-is limiting what we really could be achieving. When we aim low, there’s no growth, and our lives begin to stagnate.

I want to tell you that if you shoot at nothing, you will hit it every time. Aim for something big and bold, and you’re likely to hit something of worth. People who think big have expansive thinking. When you don’t set limits, you catapult yourself along the journey. In contrast, a small, achievable vision hinders your progress; you end up only managing progress within your comfort zone and according to what you can control.
