THIS WEEK'S LESSON:
Sometimes It's Lonely on the Way to the Top

The thing about following your dreams is that most people will think and say that you're crazy, out of your mind, not thinking straight, you have your head in the clouds. This may even come from the people you love the most. Whatever the reasoning, some people will undoubtedly try to hold you back. ..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />

THIS WEEK'S ACTION STEP

What about Thomas Edison? I'm sure his family and friends said on more than one occasion, "Gee, Tom. Do you really think you should be spending all this time trying to create light? I mean, the sun shines plenty during the day, and we have these nifty kerosene lanterns and candles. Why don't you take a nap or something?" They didn't know what he knew. ..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />Edison had laser-beam focus on his destiny and didn't listen to anyone who wanted to tamp the lights on his dream.

Coming up with outrageous thoughts, ideas and goals is a way to expand the mind. Thinking outrageously teaches the mind to destroy limitations. It fills in the potholes and roadblocks on your highway to greatness.

To begin to think outrageously, choose one of your goals. Now, take that goal and plus it over and over again. For example: If I wanted to write a humorous book about my childhood, I would say that is my goal. Then I would plus it again and again: I will write a humorous book about my childhood and have it published. Once it is published it will become a mega bestseller around the world. Once it becomes a mega bestseller around the world it will be translated into 50 different languages. Once it is translated into all of those languages, the book will be bought by a production company. Once it is bought by a production company it will become a hit series on television. The possibilities are endless!
