Achievement can’t happen without proper, powerful intrinsic motivation. If you make your “why” bigger than you and superficial things like money or status, you’ll get even more fired up to work on your goals and make big things happen.

Chapter 2

Laziness is not a bad thing as long as it’s strategic. Disassociate effort from reward and focus on achieving results with as little work as possible. The keys are to focus on the most essential things and make your work fun. This ties with your “why” – if you aren’t passionate about what you’re doing, it will be hard to achieve extraordinary results.

Chapter 5

Nothing is impossible for a man who refuses to listen to reason. Your beliefs establish your limits. If you stop thinking reasonably and instead ask yourself how you can achieve the impossible, you’ll come up with a way to do it.

The book has made me realize that the key to thinking bigger is changing your mindset. You can learn all the little tricks you want, but if you don’t change your mind, achievement won’t follow.Make it a habit to pay close attention to your thoughts and limiting beliefs. This process will help you filter negativity that prevents you from setting bolder goals and believing in yourself.

Conclusion 

By constantly working on improving your life, you’ll feel fulfillment, which will give your life a meaning. This, in turn, will lead to happiness and even more achievement.Thinking bigger is exactly what you need if you’d like to get more driven and passionate about your everyday life.Some of the most important lessons from the book include:

Play to win instead of playing not to lose. There’s a huge difference between the mindset of a winner and the mindset of a person who just doesn’t want to stay behind. Don’t be afraid to follow an unconventional approach to achieve your goals.

The key to success is to raise your standards. Tony Robbins

Our brain doesn't recognise between imagination and reality, so thinking big could be manifest into real life.

Have you ever wondered what separates people who think bigger from people who set their bar low? What makes one person accept low standards and another person to constantly raise them? Why does one person strive to build an international organization affecting the lives of millions of people, while another person is content working her entire life as a clerk? (Not that there's anything wrong with being a clerk!) Why is one person challenging herself to run marathons, train her body and get fitter, while another is happy living a sedentary, unhealthy lifestyle? You can say, "Well, the answer is simple enough - one person is ambitious, while the other one is not." But what exactly causes it? And most importantly - how do you become more ambitious and think bigger? I found this topic so fascinating I decided to find out the answer for myself and write a book about it. This book is the result of my research about people who think big and the science of being more ambitious.
