092 ~ Dream Bigger; The Strangest Secret

I wonder what life would be like if….

These words changed my life and let me image what I could do differently. These words allowed me to dream bigger.

I keep a post-it note on my desk next to my computer that reads “You are operating no-where near your potential” as a reminder to myself I can always do more.

Dan Miller of the 48 Days to the Work You Love podcast ran a challenge in August of 2022. Listen to the Strangest Secret audio by Earl Nightingale every day for 30 days, make a notecard outlining exactly what it is you want to accomplish over the 30 days, and take action towards that single, definite, goal. 

While I did not do this in August with the other 48 Days listeners I did give myself this challenge, and when I did I gleaned so much from it after only a few listens and I started listening to it 2 and sometimes 3 times a day. I also began telling everyone about it and encouraging them to listen and take the challenge themselves. 

The Strangest Secret was a game changer for me. The Strangest Secret helped me to dream bigger in my life.

The biggest part is towards the end where these steps are outlined;

1. Set yourself a definite goal.
2. Quit running yourself down.
3. Stop thinking of all the reasons why you cannot be successful and instead think of all the reasons why you can.
4. Trace your attitudes back through your childhood and try to discover where you first got the idea you couldn’t not be a success if that is the way you’ve been thinking.
5. Change the image you have of yourself by writing out a description of the person you would like to be.
6. Act the part of the successful person you have decided to become.

Shonda Rimes says “If you are in the room it is because you belong there. Act like it.”

I made the notecard outlined in The Strangest Secret (and also in Think And Grow Rich) and saw so many things came to fruition as a result. Now, moving into the new year, I am dreaming bigger than ever before.
