The Greatest Thing You Can Do for yourself

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

One of the greatest things you can do is think big.

You might not realize this but every time you do an action, that is a repetition of the action. What this means is you are literally developing the skill or habitual inclination toward this behavior or action. No matter how big, how small, or out of this world this behavior may be, if you do it enough times you will be skilled at it.

This goes for being a complete lazy fuck. If you do that everyday for 6 months, you are now going to be a journeyman level lazy fuck!

Another example, if you want to learn coding, and you take a stab at writing + understanding writing code for 6 months, you will be a below average coder! But! You will know how to code.

Some people have a naturally gifted inclination to be better at something vs others, such as those who have the running start at catching balls in football, or the running start at dribbling and shooting in basketball.

What's even more awesome is, when you think big, and act on your big thoughts, no matter how many times you fail at it, you gain more skill in the area.

Thomas Edison thought huge. The man must have failed over 10,000 times, but every day he made a stab at the lightbulb, he got better at;

  1. Thinking HUGE
  2. Creation
  3. How to go about making a light blub.

Boom.
