It’s a precious thing.
It’s an asset, your biggest asset.
It grows from nothing. Nothing more than an idea.
You must invest in it.
You must protect it.
You must tend to it.
You must nurture it so it grows.
What is it?
It’s not stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, or silver.
It’s not even your own business.
It’s not time, although that is precious too.
It’s not even relationships, even though they are certainly critical.
It’s not even you, although it’s tied closely to you.
It’s your dream. Your vision of BIGG success. Life on your own terms.
Invest in it
You invest in it because it’s BIGG. It’s worthy of your attention.
But it starts small. The dream is built step-by-step, action-by-action.
Every action must build upon and/or reinforce every other action. It’s not a one-time investment. It’s a series.
So define your dream. Then take the first step.
It’s the first investment. Fortunately, it’s small.
Protect it
You must protect it because others will take it away from you if you let them. They don’t intend to hurt you. They just have different dreams. Or no dreams at all.
Outside events can take it away from you. They’ll discourage you. You must accept what you can’t control and control what you can. Above all, you must always keep moving toward your vision of BIGG success. It’s how you protect the dream – by keeping it alive.
If you’re not careful, you can take it away yourself. You can give up too early. You must always persevere. It doesn’t mean you don’t adapt. But your destination is set. You will keep driving toward it.
Tend to it
Your dream is not a “set it and forget it” proposition. You need to check on it regularly.
How does your progress compare to your expectations?
What lessons have you learned along the way?
How can you make up for any deficiencies in your progress?
Nurture it
This asset is unusual in that its growth is directly proportional to your own. The faster you grow, the faster you reach BIGG success.
So nurture it by nurturing yourself. Replenish your body, mind, and soul.
Your vision of BIGG success is your biggest asset. But like any asset that creates wealth, it starts small.
It will grow every day if you help it along. The growth compounds as you take action. Actions that lead to your BIGG success.
What will you do today to grow this precious asset?
