The Big Picture

Small things are important; big things are important, if not more so. That is why it is important to have a 'Big Picture' focus.

The Big Picture is a simple concise overview of you. An overview of where you have been, where you are, where you are going. It includes what matters to you - your mission, your goals, your achievements, your concerns.

1. Decide who you are, your purpose and mission, your core beliefs and values.
2. Write down your goals and ideal future. Where do you want to be 5 years from now? Analyse your SWOT, concerns, challenges, conflicts, negative emotions, limiting decisions and costs and benefits for the main areas of your life you want to focus on.
3. Identify the actions you take to make your ideal future a reality (as well as the actions you have to avoid). Focus on the actions you need to take by applying the (Steps to Success). Create a supportive environment to help you including habits, tools, and advice.

The Big Picture serves as a reference point for any time, any moment - it can be referred to when you are feeling elevated, static, disillusioned. It is a motivational tool. It is an encouragement tool. It is a map for my life.

At present my Big Picture is:

  • Just do 'Likable Communication'
  • Useless not living confidently
  • Why let little things or anything ever interfere with happiness?
  • Serve God
