Dream Huge!

I remember as a missionary listening to an EFY song called Dream Big. I really don't remember the words but I remember feeling inspired to do my best. Taylor Richards takes it a step farther in a video we watched this week where we are encouraged to Dream Huge! In the video he explained how they were selected for the top 100 of a specific type of company. His initial thought was “I’m in the top 100! I could have quit right there and been thrilled to death.” To their own surprise the first year they reached number 11. That is huge! And the next year they were number 6. Imagine if they had settled with being okay as number 100. Where you settle is where you will end up. Taylor encourages us not to underestimate ourselves. This can be very easy to do especially in the pessimistic society we live in, be we really were meant to achieve incredible things. “You can do it, if you involve the Lord you can do great things. It’s a lot more fun to do great things than to just do good things.” The reason this inspired me so much is for the simple fact that at times I think I limit myself. I want to be successful but when I see the people that have been incredibly successful I never can imagine myself being where they are. I have to keep in mind that with the Lord I can accomplish many great things.

Going along with this is a quote that hit me in the article Heart of Entrepreneurship. “It’s much easier and safer for companies to stay with the familiar than to explore the unknown.” We are all victims of the comfort zone. The most successful people are those who are brave enough to leave their comfort zone. In fact they even find it fun! I want to expand my comfort zone as I learn new things and have new opportunities I want to take those chances to do great things!
