I can't stop thinking big

In 2011 a new album will be released by the iconic Canadian rock band Rush. One of the songs on this forth-coming album has already been released. It is called Caravan. The lyrics are unusual and fresh. The central theme and main line of the song seems to be the refrain " I can't stop thinking big". Like any good refrain it is repeated a number of times amidst the guitar riffs and other musical goings on!

What a great short sentence! Think about it: I can't stop thinking big! What an excellent predicament! Sometimes we let life restrict us to small thinking and living below our God-given potential
On the other hand when we let our imaginations run free and our hopes soar and feel our pulses quicken we can see into the future with brilliant positivity!

We had such an experience recently when a number of Jersey breed leaders from across Canada sat down in an wonderful church in Belleville, Ontario called Maranatha Church. The goal of the conclave was to work up a draft base for a brand new strategic plan for Jersey Canada to cover 2011 to 2013.

Thankfully our team of about a dozen, led by facilitator Jo Anne Henderson, were, to a person, people who "can't stop thinking BIG"!!!

Long before the draft has been vetted and doctored and then approved it has already impacted and revised our thinking.

Why settle for small paltry dreams? Why not the best? Why not having the best days for Jersey Canada and its members still ahead of us? Why not dreaming about touching the sky and then propelling upward into the absolute stratosphere?

Why not think big, talk big and then act big and work and make it happen?

Apply this kind of approach to your entire life and see what transpires!??

The world needs more big thinkers who will then step up and speak out and actualize their big thinking!

We've found time and time again that when you set great goals and are definite and clear about them
something fine and indeed awesome happens. Either you're drawn to achieving the goals or the achievement of them comes closer to you and you start to see miracles happen!

Try it!

Thank you Rush for a renewed stimulus to become fixed on thinking big!
