Living small serves no great purpose. Living as if you are a great person is a powerful idea that changes lives, and those who take it seriously change their world. Living as if you are great means you live as if your dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. You act as if you cannot fail. In order to live as if you are great, you have to think the way great people think, talk the way great people talk, and act the way great people act. Great people think, talk, and act their dreams into existence. If you ever become great, it will be because you think great thoughts, repeat great self-talk, have great expectations, and act as if you cannot fail. Some people wrongly believe that change is impossible. Leopards don't change their spots, and zebra stripes are forever. But people are different. They have hope. People change their stars. They change their stripes, and their spots disappear in an instant of time. That instant happens the moment they develop positive expectations and believe they have the power to change. Positive expectations form the superstructure of your life. Until you develop positive expectations, you cannot build the bridge to your dreams. But positive expectations are not enough. You need positive self-talk. All bridges have two components. The first component is the superstructure that makes the bridge stand, and the second is the roadway on which you travel. The bridge to your dreams is no different. Positive expectations create the superstructure, and positive self-talk creates the road that gets you to the other side. Without positive self-talk there is no road in which to travel. When you have both positive expectations and positive self-talk, you create a bridge over which you can drive hundred-ton dreams. The Positive Power Graphics in this book contain positive self-talk that you need to have in your mind if you want to reach your dreams. You need to repeat this self-talk until your mind repeats it back to you. More than one hundred Positive Power Graphics help you jumpstart your dreams. You can actually live the rest of your life as if you are a great person. With some great self-talk and a backpack full of positive expectations, you can make it happen. Positive self-talk and positive expectations can take you anywhere you want to go.
