There’s something to think about before you make any commitment, but especially a time commitment. You can’t get more time. That’s why it’s so important to ask yourself this question before you agree to spend your time doing anything.
If I say “yes” to this, to what am I saying “no”?
Because that’s exactly what you’re doing. You’re trading time spent on this activity, whatever it may be, for time spent doing something else.
So is the thing you’re saying “yes” to more important to you than that other activity?
Will it move you closer to your dream life than the other thing?
Will it provide the balance you desire in your life better than the other commitment?
Once you realize that saying “yes” to this new activity means saying “no” to something else, it makes it much easier to just say “no”.

Bigg Challenge Amy knows she’s not passionate about her career, but she doesn’t really know what she would love to do. She wants to know how to discover her passion.
Bigg Advice We recommend that you get a notebook to write down your thoughts and answers to the following questions, Amy.
These things all revolve around one simple theme –
Look to the past to discover your future.
#1 – What did you want to be when you grew up? Now you may think that’s a silly question to ask at this point in your life, but it’s not. Because it leads to the more important question …
Why? Why did you want to do that one thing when you grew up?
Mary-Lynn wanted to be a singing star. She wanted to be like Cher – up on stage performing in front of an audience with a microphone. Unfortunately, she couldn’t sing!
But today, she does perform in front of an audience with her very own microphone. It’s not exactly what she envisioned as a kid, but the elements are there. #2 – What classes did you really enjoy? You probably thrived in these classes. What were they, from grade school all the way up through college? And more importantly …
What about that particular class did you enjoy so much?
George loved philosophy – learning how to think logically and debate a subject. He’s used those skills his entire career. He has found that the work that’s most enjoyable to him often has to do with problem-solving. #3 – What extracurricular activities did you love? And more importantly, what did you love about that activity?
Mary-Lynn loved music. She loved being in the pep band and going to competitions. These additional benefits were a bonus to learning to play an instrument well. It appealed to her competitive nature and fulfilled her social needs.
#4 – What jobs or roles have given you the greatest satisfaction? More importantly, what common themes were there?
George has been an entrepreneur and a teacher. As his career as a business owner advanced, he found that teaching and inspiring others was what he really enjoyed. He got great feedback about meetings he conducted. He also got positive reviews from his students. Today, Bigg Success gives him that outlet to share knowledge with others. #5 – What is, or was, your favorite hobby? What do you, or did you, do for free?
Mary-Lynn has loved writing since she was a kid. It taps into her creative side. That desire to be creative has guided her throughout her career. She once left a job because it didn’t offer creative freedom. Her need for creative control in her job spills over from her hobby. Being in touch with what you naturally do, even without pay, can help you discover your passion.
So as you ponder these five questions, think about the elements of the activity, rather than the activity itself, to discover your passion.
Thanks, Amy, for sharing your bigg challenge with us. We’re confident you’ll discover your passion soon!

Our bigg quote today is by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who said,
“Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion.”
So find your passion to uncover your greatness.
Next time, we’ll discuss what to do if working harder isn’t working anymore. Until then, here’s to your bigg success!
The value of a horse that wins the Kentucky Derby rises immediately and immensely. That’s because they’ll be in great demand for breeding. Being the direct descendant of a Derby winner is presumed to be a leg up in winning the bigg race.
Success breeds success.
But there’s a more important way to think about this old saying. Think about how success is achieved in the first place – one success after another, one at a time.
In other words, we become a success by breaking down the bigg success we desire into a series of little successes.
As we achieve these little successes, we gain confidence and momentum to reach the next level of success. So we keep pushing on. Before you know it, we’ve succeeded bigg! That’s why we say …
Success breeds bigg success!
So how do you start your string of successes leading to bigg success? Determine what bigg success means to you Create a clear picture in your mind of the life you want. That’s your bigg success! Use all your senses to visualize it as if it has already happened. Write it down and read it twice a day until it becomes etched in your mind’s eye.
Set achievable interim goals You want your goals to be clearly defined. Many people have “fuzzy” goals. You want measurable goals with a deadline. These goals should stretch you, but not too far. As you reach each goal, you’ll gain confidence and skills to reach the next one. That’s success breeding bigg success!
