The thing about playing small is that when you do it long enough you begin to lose sight of the big dreams you once had. Smallness begets smallness – - the choices you make and the people you bring into your life reflect that sense of lack. We’re masters at rationalization, so you won’t notice how much you’ve compromised.

When you begin to Play BIG and make grand choices for your life at first it may not seem to improve things. In fact, it may hurt a lot. Often small players don’t appreciate people who want to do it bigger. You remind them that they, too have let go of their biggest dreams.

If you continue to Play BIG, sooner or later something colossal will present itself in your life. Make no mistake, it will scare the hell out of you. You’ll get the goose bumps and all those dormant dreams will rush into your spirit like a tidal wave. And when you realize those dreams can be a reality you’ll say to your Self, “Welcome home.”

    I’ve got an article in my blog queue, waiting to be published, on this same topic. Not quite as eloquent as yours though.

    Great to see you today, keep Play(ing) BIG

    AND you’ll say to your fellow Playmates: “Welcome to the party. Let’s ride those waves…”

    Hey Friend… I have a full day planned but something tells me this post is going to be at the front of my brain most of the day.

    Thank you (I think)

    I think we all need more “Welcome Home” moments. They are an affirmation about true meaning in life.
    Blessings to you!
