Most great accomplishments never happened by chance. They all started out with an Idea or a Dream or a Thought. Usually they were positive, born from a place of increasing negativity about their lives around them. Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln among those that had big dreams to right the wrongs of the day.

Thinking big about one’s career and one’s personal relationships will lead to great achievement, as Napoleon Hill Said “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
