I toured the Colosseum today…
This amazing structure was built in 81AD!
It held 60,000 people in its day. Then, I viewed the Roman Forum which was built in 498 BC! This amazing structure makes your jaw drop…
It got me thinking about the mind-set that the people of ancient Rome must have had… They were BIG thinkers; designers of beauty; creators of colossal structures. I wonder if they ever thought to themselves, “Hmmm… is this too ostentatious?… Am I being a little over the top?” Or did they think to themselves, “Will I be judged by other parts of Italy? Maybe Asia will make fun of me!”
Of course they didn’t! It even sounds silly… But, if you’re like most people, you question what others will think of you all the time. And this can cause you to hold yourself back, suppress your self-expression and mute your contribution!
May it never be for you!
Remember, Boldness Gets Rewarded! Give yourself permission to follow your God-Given Dreams! Think BIG. Let yourself envision God-Size Visions…
I have a client who is taking on the total transformation of Africa! Yes, she lived and worked among the people as a doctor and researcher for decades and now has a business opportunity that she bringing to the people… to create entrepreneurial mind-set!
This God-Size vision is happening. And she is attracting the people, the ideas, the money and the support to transform an entire continent!
What about you?
What’s on your heart to create? to transform? to make a difference for? Give yourself permission to Dream Big, Design Big and BE Bold in your actions…
Even in my life I have to deal with other people’s judgment of me. My children are on their own in our home while I’m on the European Journey. They have to shop, cook and clean for themselves; get themselves to work and even take care of our 2 puppies! I trust God has given them the maturity to handle ~ even thrive this summer on their own ~ even when I received different thoughts from others.
Follow your own Compass! God has a specific and unique plan for you that is BIGGER than you are thinking right now. Dare to GROW and follow that bigger vision! The world needs your boldness.
I’ll check in tomorrow from the Spanish Steps!
To your success,
