How to Think Bigger: Aim Higher, Get More Motivated, and Accomplish Big Things

by Martin Meadows

Surrounding yourself with empowering books and people on a daily basis will put you into a positive state that will inspire you to raise your standards. Please keep in mind it’s a process of conditioning, and it’s never-ending.

If your body doesn’t work on the highest level, how are you supposed to work on the big goals?

Without a powerful “why,” big achievements are close to impossible. We all need strong internal motivation to act on our goals.

Intrinsic motivation is about enjoyment, fulfillment, or challenge – anything that comes from within you rather than the influences outside of you.

If you’ve been trying to motivate yourself to work on a certain goal, write down your vision. If you’ve written it properly (meaning: it fires you up so much you’re restless), you should no longer struggle with procrastination.

The more you simplify the goal you want to achieve, the easier and faster you’ll achieve it.

If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.50”
