Are You A Big Thinker?

Peace & Blessings readers and visitors,

During the thanksgiving holidays I had an opportunity to tune into a lecture conducted by Dr. Ben Carson, the renown Cheif of Pediatric Neurosurgeon at John Hopkin Hospital on a CNN coverage at an university. I jotted down some notes and posted a blog on it as well, in fact I think it was one of first blog entries, but I got thinking about goals and dreams one has. Some individuals allow their dreams to linger in their minds while some chose to make the dream a reality. I wonder which are you. How far will you go to make your vision visible to the eye and awareness. After having endless convos with my freinds and some of my family members that are constantly on the grind to "make it happen" by any and all means necessary, I thought about Dr. Carson's theory and concept of the "THINK BIG" acronym. And I had to share it with ya and pass on the info to inspire and congratulate you on your many accomplishments thus far and even in the future. My friend THE Dubber says its the "great 08" and I couldnt agree more.

THINK BIG – Dr. Ben Carson
Talent: Our Creator has endowed all of us not just with the ability to sing, dance or throw a ball, but with intellectual talent. Start getting in touch with that part of you that is intellectual and develop that, and think of careers that will allow you to use that.
Honesty: If you lead a clean and honest life, you don't put skeletons in the closet. If you put skeletons in the closet, they definitely will come back just when you don't want to see them and ruin your life.
Insight: It comes from people who have already gone where you're trying to go. Learn from their triumphs and their mistakes.
Nice: If you're nice to people, then once they get over the suspicion of why you're being nice, they will be nice to you.
Knowledge: It makes you into a more valuable person. The more knowledge you have, the more people need you. It's an interesting phenomenon, but when people need you, they pay you, so you'll be okay in life.
Books: They are the mechanism for obtaining knowledge, as opposed to television.
In-Depth Learning: Learn for the sake of knowledge and understanding, rather than for the sake of impressing people or taking a test.
God: Never get too big for Him.

Until my next post, peace, endless blessings and prosperity,

1Luv
