Think is an act of creating thoughts. When I start to think big, it does not mean that I need to push myself to create big thoughts. Instead, it is an intention and awareness of connecting me with the bigger resources to create a thought that is without the boundary of my limited sigle thought. I am part of the hologram.
However, when I begin to think, I have a purpose to create a reality reflects my wish or what is within me. I, then need to be very conscious about the energy created during my thinking process is beneficiary to the big-ness or demanging it. Do I enjoying the here and now thinking to create thoughts of the presence? Or I am withdrawing some bad experience to distorting my reality of now. Or I am withdrawing some good experience to empowering my awareness of the existence. Of course, no matter I am sad or happy, it is my reality. However, I recognize that I have a choice. Is this choice an subjective thought or it could be affected by the external environment around me? I would say, if I am in a state of thinking, it is an internal me.

The Power of Effortless
These days I sense more on the focus of Effortlessly. Sometime we try to do something hardly by thinking hard and working hard but eventually it is in vain. To the bad side, may be because when we are working too hard for our desired outcome, we hurt people and ourselves without noticing it or being conscious about the kind of bigger picture and meaning behind the action or behavior. To the good side, we appreciate this person to have paid lots of effort. Particular in Chinese we say, work hard is the key to every success. Effort sounds like a positive word. However, if we put effort on to a blind spot, what would happen.
We human has a limitation on our effort because we have a limited body. We cannot work more than our physically body can afford. Therefore, there are over-work death. Many happens in Japan. Being a Chinese, I still believe working hard is a good attitude because it elimiate us to be lazy. Many fialure comes from the lacking of motivation, being lazy and not committed.
What if you are not a lazy person but you are passionate in adding greatness to the world and universe, what will you do. Do you think you can change the world by your own. I believe the universe has already providing the source and energy that maintaining our living. What I can do is to aware of it and emerging be part of it that the growth will be there for me.
I like coching because it articulates people's internal searching of wisdom. It helps people to discover their inner abundance. Questioning skill itself is a method to unfold the unknown. It also facilitates us to walk in to the different levels of consciousness.

5 Keys to Think Big
1. Think without any demand for a result.
2. Observe your thinking instead of push yourself to think.
3. Forget the Big because it is infintive and focus on the Thinking flow only.
4. Enjoy the crazy ideas. (You will be less critical to yourself and others --> non-judgmental)
5. Thinking out of your brain but connect with the invisible Big-ness.

Think Big by removing the usual way of thinking
When I want to practise my Think Big one day, I have discovered that I have a pattern of thinking. That may be quite alright for me in developing the thinking. However, it is as is. I believe if I can Think Big, I am able to think in many different ways. Terence once told me that he wants to decode his established thinking pattern in order to learn differently. Now, I understanding his purpose. He does not want to staying in his narrow way. We adult usually have our developed thinking through our knowledge and experiences gained. We treasure about those findings through much painful trial and error. That might also create a scene that we are holding up on that. To me decoding my thought sounds difficult or impossible. However, it is no harm to think in a way that I am not usually doing. I like this idea.

Big Mind and Think Big
I dont know whether I have a Big Mind or not. However, I can decide to use my mind to Think Big or not. I started to check whether my Think is Big or not. This tricky thought begins to trap me in to comparison and limitation. Rather, I try to sense the boundary of my Think. I like to play along with the boundary and check of my response internally and externally. May be there are still lots of room for me to expand. I believe the most important indicator of Think Big is whether I feel the Freedom of moving around in my Thinking process. Freedom is in fact the measure that I project for myself. What if I believe there are unlimited space for me to search as far as I can, and even there is a wall or barrier, what I have to do is just to look in to it and remove it after understanding, there will be no limitation of my sense of freedom. Well, I almost emerging myself in to a Big Mind.

Shopping makes me in Contraction
My daughter has come back from Canada for her summer holiday. Suddenly, I found I have increased my shopping with her and spending more money on the materialistic products. Both my conscious mind and heart give me a signal of uncomfort. I come to understand that Think Big is a luxury but free entertainment for me but Shopping Big is a hurt to my feeling and financial situation.
Rebel for Abundance
Followed Abraham's story, I also related teenagers' rebellious to the story of Abraham. If parents have faith in the forthcoming abundance, they do not need to treat their teenagers with a contracted mind set. Just to let go and allow the enlightenment to merge in. When teenagers grow, they will become an adult.
Parents' push to their teenagers will excel to the extent of destructive. Parents with serenity allows their children to transcend from contraction to expansion. Poorly, contracted parents nurture contracted next generations.

Abraham Tested
Attened Paul's Mindset Master Mind Group on Wed. When he mentioned about the journey of Unconsciousness --> Scarcity --> Enlightening --> Abundance, Abrahma's story was in my mind. (Genesis Chapter 22)
God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son, Isaac as a burnt offering. In those days, offering the first born was considered as the best offer to God. People followed it as the way to show their better submissiveness in a contracted mind set. Until the day Abraham has to offer his most beloved son, God sees it as a test. What if Abrham did not offer?
Abraham, however, decided to relax from his contracted mind set by saying to his son, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." when Isaac asked about where is the lamb. The moment of let go and relaxation enlightened Abraham to understand the abundance of God.
When Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to sla his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, "Abraham! Here I am, Do not lay a hand on the boy. Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son." Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord will Provide.
The insight I got is Let Go (Be Effortlessness)and there is nothing insufficient if we know the Abundance is already provided.

Think Big requires Space
These days were tighter in schedule and jobs delivery. When there is less time and spce, thinking begins to focus on doing the details which I like to name it as "doing" than "thinking".
Does doing same as acting. If I focus on doing the details, does it mean I am delivering my acting already. Then, does it Big or else. What is the relationship?

Drawing with Chinese Character
I wrote Think in Chinese 想 then on top of Think, I wrote Big in Chinese 大 and then use the eraser to flip horizontally. It came the drawing of Think Big.
I wrote Think in blue ink then on top of it, I wrote Big in dark blue. Finally I covered both wordings by putting a light blue brush.

Think New. Think Big
I just returned from a support group meeting where we have decided two new things. All members contributed their ideas, provided feedback to each idea and polished it until everybody felt good about it. At the end of the meeting, everyone were highly motivated for the forthcoming event. I observed the process of Think New. To be Think New is one of the means of Think Big. Why Big? I guess everyone was so open to the thinking which is so big that nothing can stop our thinking flow. It is interesting that when we are Think Big, there seems no limitation. Thus, new ideas emerge to form a Big Idea.

Thinking Out of the Box
Thinking out of the Box has been a trendy saying for some time. Yet, are we practicing it? Or, do we know how to do it? Or, are there any barriers holding us to do so and etc. Finally, Thinking out of the Box remains a trendy term than a successful behavior change.
I like to relate Thinking out of the Box to Think Big. When I am thinking Big, is it big enough to be out of the Box? Or, what I was doing is only thinking bigger within the box.
I dont agree. I dont agreed thinking is an act within a box. If yes, the box is the limiting belief given to me by myself. More important is that do I aware I am giving a limitation to myself when I am thinking. I may assume thinking big will only happen if I let go all the limitations. Again, do I aware what and when the limiting belief dominating my thoughts. Over here, my body may be a good indicator. When I feel relax, I did let go.

A simple Thought works
Two years ago, I had a crazy thought that I dont want to do normal executive coaching but I want to coach Chinese CEO or the top in the companies in China. It sounds like some how of arrogance. However, I have a reason clearly in my mind. China is developing very fast in economy and industries. I think CEO is the key person to determine the company's direction. I hope these CEOs will bring China to an authentic and earth-friendly direction. It is amazing that few months after this thought, I was invited to coach a CEO to be and then CEOs.
Does a thought contribute any to the actualization of the project? or
Do I have an intuitive sensing of the market needs and development? or
Does it mean I am bold enough to speak up my dream so it was given to me? or.....
Recently, I met with my agent and I crazily told him that "Give me 10 CEO coaching projects a year. I dont want less or more." I did not prepare to speak about this but it was just spoken from my mouth and heart at that moment. Now this statement is in the testing period. When it realizes, I will write in here.
However, I am curious to know why comes the thought? What does thinking mean?

Thoughts on Paper
I have a blank sketch paper in front of me. I started my drawing with a pencil. I expressed my thoughts by adding more lines and shapes on to the paper. Once I did not like the shape, I used a rubber to erase part of the drawing. My thoughts kept on developing and felt good in certain moments. Finally a lady's face in 2-D was on the paper. It's not a master piece but I did my process of creation. Now, it is a picture that I feel proud of. I like to show to my friends and they may like it.
I shifted to see the process as if I am the blank sketch paper. I am a paper. You have put some lead power on me and created your story of picture. Your story makes sense to you but not me. Physically, I am still a paper. You may suggest to create my value by saying that I have helped you to realize your thoughts in to a beautiful picture that may last for long time and have impact on to the others. It is still your interpretation and I am still a paper.
I try to observe my thoughts on the relationship between thoughts and physical material. Thoughts or thinking is just a virtual activity making sense to human being. We are using some form of material (including our body) to facilitate the expression and create experience from our thoughts. Through the actualization process, we feel good about the being-ness.
What is the relationship between thought(s) and thinking? How does thought(s) relates to stories? I will explore it in next writing.

Control of associating = thinking
Interesting article about Thinking:
quote
We still know so little about the process of thinking and the structure of the thinking brain that any theory claiming to explain this phenomenon as a whole is hypothetical. Thus, our conception of thinking must also be treated as a hypothesis. However, this conception indicates the place of thinking in the series of natural phenomena and, as we shall see, puts a vast multitude of facts together in a system. The complete absence of particular, arbitrary assumptions, which ordinarily must be made when a theory includes a structural description of a little-studied object, is another positive feature. The core of our conception is not some hypothesis regarding the concrete structure and working mechanism of the brain, but rather a selection of those functional concepts through which a consistent and sufficiently convincing explanation of the facts we know about thinking becomes possible.
Thus, we assert that the appearance of thinking beings, which marks the beginning of a new stage--perhaps a new era--in evolution (the era of reason) is nothing short of the next metasystem transition, which occurs according to the formula

Thinking in Action or by its Organic System
When I did the quiet time exercise in a retreat in Taiwan in last Mar, we were walking in a mountain freely to enjoy the beauty of nature, no talking, no eye-contact and no information input such as reading a book were advised. At the beginning, I found lots of thinking snapshots were floating in the mind as is. I did not try to stop it but just let it flip while I was walking and connecting with the nature. After about 15 min, there seemed no more busy flow of thoughts, my mind became calm and easy. There were neither any particular urging needs for thinking nor busy thoughts running as is. Then, I felt the freedom. This experience taught me that I do not need to control my thoughts, it does its filing, sweeping and re-structuring if I have a moment of silence (stop inputting). Does thinking need to be operated in the thinking mode and system or thinking is just an automatic inner activity with its organic wisdom of merging and splitting within our brain. If this is true, will the quieter I am, the deeper thinking I will experience.

Stupid than Wise
Before think big, I like to explore how thinking is developed. There is a Chinese old saying that, "Three stupid fellows is wiser than a master." It gives me a sense of collective wisdom is more workable than a single wise idea. I believe it expresses the power of team work. This is exactly what we are doing in the Master Mind group. I had a preliminary idea, feel safe to express to the group, getting feedback, expanding my idea in the discussion, affirmed by encouragement, clarity on the direction, commit to action, keep on getting feedback, trial and error, gaining more insights, enjoy the journey, focus on the thinking, more relevant ideas emerging, express with more confidence, thinking beyond my limitation, let the Big-ness to carry me, it is light with the flow.....

Law of Attraction
Today I had a discussion with Sany about her success in income. I got a sense that she was neither forcefully doing something hard nor desperately wanting or needing anything to happen. She was just having a simple heart, following the flow and highly devoted in her learning process in each stage of her life. I found her simple belief that everything will be alright attracts the goodwill of income to her. The same story also happened to Anita. She said she did not pursue hard to be the bestselling author. She has just kept on writing her story and posted on to a website openly for public reading. The person who saw her story invited her for the book publishing and made her the bestselling author. I guess it accounts the law of attraction. May be it explains why we can act big effortlessly.
Thinking with Hope (hope intelligence)
To think Big is not necessary to think more or to do more in a hardship way. In this writing, I try to connect "Thinking with Hope". I like to name it as Hope Intelligence here. Thinking itself is a gifted ability to every human being. It works on its own. The difference is that we can have choice to think positively, negatively or neutrally. What will happen in the process and outcome of my thinking if I Think Big (not bigger or else) with hope intelligence? I guess I may feel all things are possible because it is just a non-materialistic activity within my brain. I have the freedom of creating thoughts, link and emerging them together. Moreover, giving that I take a Hope approach, it may flow as my wish. It sounds like a playful game to me without any cost. Having gone through such an enjoyable process, the good feeling may help me to create a strong affirmation and motivation to further realize the thoughts in to a physical reality world with actions. Paul names the process as Intuition --> Thinking --> Verbalizing --> Action (strategies and technologies). Then, what will be the predictable outcome? Well, it may involve another round of Think Big.
Think Big is different from Think Bigger
Think Big is different from Think Bigger. To me, Big is Big-ness which is something beyond me but I have the innate ability to connect with it and be part of it for growth and development in the unlimited space and time span. Bigger which is having a measurable sense in comparing with the former and later may illustrate the progression steps. If I can borrow Philip Wong's saying to look in to the difference between Big-ness and Bigger, Big-ness is similar to working on the system while Bigger is similar to working in the system. I believe thinking is a gifted ability and capacity that the divine has given to every human for creating meaning to their lives. We can think as big as we can to reflect our connection with the unlimited resources. Therefore, there are no contradictory in both approaches of thinking (Big and Bigger). I found I have been trained to think bigger in the reality world. And now I like to think beyond for I got an intuition that there is a Big-ness ready for me to explore.
