Dream big dreams; only big dreams have the power to move men’s souls.” Procrastination is one of the biggest complaints I hear from the people we work with. And generally speaking, I believe one of the two main causes of procrastination is a dream that’s too small (the other cause is belief, which I’ll cover later). It’s just too easy to put off doing something that doesn’t have a lot of appeal even if you were to achieve it.
Big dreams drive us to do things we’d never do for lesser dreams --- in many ways they almost pull us through the obstacles we’re likely to have on the way to reaching them.
Having a specific meaning and purpose in your life helps to encourage you towards living a fulfilling and inspired life. Animals cannot select their goals.
Their goals of self-preservation and procreation are preset. There is no changing that fact, at least not in the short-term. Animals’ success mechanism is limited to instincts, preset goal images.
Humans, on the other hand, have something that animals don’t have. Creative imagination. Not only are humans creatures, they are creators. We can formulate a variety of goals. We can go after whatever goals we choose! We actively control our creative mechanism by choosing what we want to achieve.
