The Power of Dreaming Big

You never know what kind of an impact you will have on people.  Whether it is your attitude, your daily actions and habits or the things you say.  You touch more lives than you really know about.  I had an amazing moment this last weekend.  My wife Rachael asked me to speak at her Beachbody Super Saturday event on April 12th.  I wrote a speech about how Arnold Schwartzenegger used the strategy that
if you believe in a dream vividly enough and take action to create that dream...and truly never give up, you can achieve immense levels of success just like Arnold did.  I asked everyone in the audience to write down on a notecard a description of who they were in 10 years.  I then asked them all to write down 3 things that they would start doing today to take action on that dream.  At the bottom of the notecard, I instructed the audience to write down the words, "I WILL NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP."  I finally told then to take this notecard and place it in location that they would see every single day and to repeat those words every single day.

A little boy in the crowd (whom I had met the night before) came up to me after the event and said "Wow, great presentation!"  Impressed by this 10 year olds ability to come up to someone he did not know and compliment his speech, I thanked him for the kind words.  I remember thinking that this kid really had an adult presence to him and that his mom should be very proud of him.

His mother posted a picture of what she found in his room later that day. 

You never know the impact you will have on another persons life.  Make every day an inspirational day.
