Thank you for your extended reply, it made me chuckle even though I am taking it in seriously. I know what you meant, and I was just expressing a different approach. I think even if I wasn’t limited by time or money, I’d still think about durability and maintenance. It comes from being innately lazy and non-commital. I love to know I have free time and nothing planned. It would be safe to say I’ve built my life to afford this luxury. To just be able to roll up in bed, read a good book or dream, to let someone else save the world or execute plans of grandiosity. Thinking ‘big’ wasn’t on my agenda, finding inner peace was. I’m not a tranquil person, I’m highly strung and a stresshead, so I’m constantly at battle with myself. So if I was to hire people to do stuff for me so I have more time, I’d probably just want them to go away, because their presence is invading my space. I equate thinking big with more work. You have to love these big ideas to want to make the effort and sacrifices. Because there would be sacrifice.
With all that said, which probably makes no sense, wealth to me is wealth in time. I think as I get older, this has become more and more clear. So if I was to think bigger, I need to think, how can I find more time to do nothing? I’m possibly misguided, but really, I’m just disorganised. So, I need to start thinking how to better organise my time in my bigger thinking...
If you’re confused by my reply, know that I am too. I don’t know what my point was!🤣
Ahhh ... time to roll up in bed and read a book, or just let nothing happen for a day or two. I do miss being able to do that.
You’re right, big ideas often mean big sacrifices. A lot of things I have been listening to and reading have sounded intriguing to me, but a lot of them have made me feel like, This is a great idea, but I don’t think it’s for me.
I think that thinking big can also be equated to thinking long term, or thinking about more people. As with everything, how something fits into one’s life depends on the person.
