How to Think Bigger

 7 powerful lessons you can learn from the book "How to Think Bigger: Aim Higher, Get More Motivated, and Accomplish Big Things" by Michael Bungay Stanier


1. Define Your "Why": Before setting any goals, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding your "why" - the core purpose and motivation that drives you. What sparks your passion and compels you to pursue bigger things? Having a clear "why" provides direction, fuels perseverance, and keeps you focused during challenging times.


2. Set Stretch Goals and Embrace Failure: Don't settle for mediocrity. The book encourages setting ambitious, stretch goals that push you outside your comfort zone and force you to grow. Embrace failure as a learning opportunity and a stepping stone to success. It's through overcoming challenges and setbacks that you build resilience and achieve extraordinary things.


3. Break Down Goals into Bite-Sized Steps: While big goals are exciting, they can also feel overwhelming. The book recommends breaking them down into smaller, actionable steps that make progress feel manageable. This keeps you motivated and on track, celebrating milestones along the way as you inch closer to your ultimate goal.


4. Take Action Every Day: Don't let your goals linger in the realm of possibility. The book emphasizes the importance of taking action every day, even if it's just a small step forward. Consistency is key to achieving big things. By taking daily action, you build momentum and move closer to your dreams.


5. Find Your Flow State: The book introduces the concept of "flow" - a state of complete absorption and immersion in an activity where time seems to fly by and effort feels effortless. Discover what activities put you in a flow state and prioritize them for optimal productivity and motivation.


6. Surround Yourself with Positive People: The people you spend time with can significantly impact your mindset and motivation. The book encourages surrounding yourself with positive, supportive individuals who believe in you and your goals. Their encouragement and shared enthusiasm can fuel your own motivation and help you stay on track.


7. Never Stop Learning and Growing: Personal growth is a lifelong journey. The book emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and self-improvement. Embrace new challenges, explore new skills, and seek out opportunities to expand your knowledge. This insatiable curiosity keeps you engaged, motivated, and adaptable in the ever-changing world.
