Think Bigger

Forget 5 pounds or 2 miles, go big


I was asked this question today: Is there something you feel you must convey each time you write?

Here is my answer.

Think bigger.

Don’t stop at the media, the desire, the skill or the thought that you just had; push it prod it, stretch it, until you can include as much of the wide world as possible in it.

If you’re reading/watching/listening to something, learn about the artists who inspired the artist, the dance it refers to, the novel it resembles. Visit the place (at least via the Internet), read the sources.

Always, always think bigger than you are at this moment.

Let this be what drives us all to be greater things than ever before in this New Year. Happy 2014 to all of you!
