Big dreams – if you think you can you can.

Looking very happy with the completion of the planning process. With Kristie Buchanan

We have just completed our planning cycle. And I am completely excited by the plans that the leadership team has created under the stewardship of CEO Kristie. Whilst I am clearly not going to reveal the content here… it gave me cause to reflect about dreaming big – and playing full out.

RedBalloon is all about ‘Good – Times’ and the speed at which we play a bigger and bigger game is inspiring. – Thanks Team

“If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,
For out in the world we find
Success being with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are:
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.”

  • Hello Naomi, have just started to read your blog and am going to start my own in a couple of weeks after my website is redesigned - which now is a bit tired and really needs an update. The poem in your blog is one I have used a million times in many of my retreats and workshops - and although written some time ago is so very true and real to the minute. It is a tremendous motivational piece. A little bit about me - I am a trainer and coach - both life/personal and corporate. My workshops are for professional skills development as well as self-development. I live in Chiang Mai Thailand, have done so for the past 30 years(how did that happen!)but travel the SEA region - and the world if possible and if they need me - to motivate and help develop "people" - the most important resource on the planet - simply have a better life! When I got your blog this morning I felt quite uplifted and happy that you know about it and use it - wonderful stuff! Thanks for sharing your positive moments, we all need that - and I do hope we can stay in touch from time to time. And I do like this quote which I will leave you with(think it's anonymous)- "If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always have what you've already got" - really quite a punch in there don't you think!Cheers...

  • Best of luck for your new planning and hope that brings you more smiles!!

  • Big dreams – if you think you can you can. I love this expression. We all need to dream big to make it happen! Thanks for your post.
