The Magic of Thinking Tiny

All great achievements in life are preceded by a long period of focus and concentration, sometimes for weeks, months, and even years, before success is achieved. Every big achievement was preceded by hundreds, even thousands of tiny efforts and activities that no one ever sees or appreciates.

I still find it incredibly surprising that the Tiny House movement has its own cable television series here in the United States. After all, Americans invented the Big Gulp, the Big Mac, and even built the Big Apple. However, as we will discover, it turns out that The Magic of Thinking Tiny is about more than just seeing if two people can live in a cleverly designed 400 square foot house without going crazy!

In this article, I’m going to equip you with seven powerful ways to unlock the Magic of Thinking Tiny in your day-to-day life. Whether you run a small business, work for a giant corporation, lead a team, or simply are trying to take the next step forward in your life, applying the many surprising and counter-intuitive techniques of Thinking Tiny can quickly and easily change your life.

Before exploring the art and science of Thinking Tiny in more detail, let’s set the stage… As our story begins, imagine Tiny as a superhero character in an animated movie. She’s wearing a tiny blue cape with a tiny golden “T”, and behind her black bandit mask, we notice her eyes are filled with a determined yet playful twinkle. She might be tiny, but we can tell from how she stands, poised and ready for action, that she means business. Behind every massive accomplishment and awe-inspiring Rocket Launch, you can be sure that Tiny has been hard at work!

So how do we characterize all the awesome mutant superpowers of Tiny, and what is it that that we can learn from her?

1). Tiny Dreams in Hi-Res
Tiny unleashes incredible time-bending powers by first imagining a super high-definition vision of what her future will look like, always keeping it clearly in sight. In the palace of her mind’s eye, she constantly plays her dreams and goals on the biggest, most vivid flat screen TV you’ve ever seen. This is why leap-frogging into the future with Tiny can feel so easy. Simply by staying overwhelmingly clear about what you’re trying to achieve makes countless tiny things in your life line up in a pleasant and effortless fashion. While the logical brain plods along in a linear predictable fashion, our subconscious emotional mind responds to the potent combination of vivid images and exciting feelings and uses them to leap frog one tiny step at a time into the future. The most powerful nation on the planet is “ImagiNation”.

The clearer and more compelling your image, the faster the journey to success! This inner clarity allows you to knock down one tiny challenge after another in rapid light-speed succession. Tiny dreams in high res, 24/7/365 about where her invisible jet is heading -allowing her to whoosh through the air from point A to point B in no time! Tiny loves vivid imagination and crystal clarity because she knows that’s how to accelerate the future. Her heightened sense of purpose and clarity of vision allows her to detect and act on tiny hunches that most people don’t even see.

2). Tiny Starts Now and Learns Fast
With a clear destination in mind, Tiny moves so fast you might just miss her altogether. Before getting started, Tiny does not require ponderous committees or position papers or Hamlet-like soul searching. She doesn’t need heroic speeches or heart pounding motivation. Tiny starts and finishes in a blink of the eye with minimum stress, maximum impact and total simplicity, quickity quick. Tiny is always NOW and never tomorrow. Tiny, tiny, tiny, now, now, now!

Because of the tremendous speed at which she travels, Tiny learns at exponential rates. This is because Tiny is constantly failing, bouncing right back up, and trying again, fast, fast, fast. Tiny has learned 20 quick lessons in the time it takes most people to even open the textbook. Fail, fail, got it, fail, fail, fail, fail, got it, fail, got it - zip, zip, zip, experiment, experiment, experiment.

Tiny is the fleet-footed niece of Athena who trains before dawn with Mercury and Hercules just for fun. No handwringing over mistakes, no embarrassment, no “I’m too stupid to learn this”. Traveling in the instant-genius-now, Tiny believes that if something is made tiny enough, anyone can learn that one tiny thing - even if it takes dozens of rapid tries. Tiny is a mistake making, curiosity drenched, experiment making, happily voracious accelerated learning machine. Remember Pac Man gobbling up all those tiny nuggets? Tiny always starts right now, allowing her to cut through the tech-driven information clutter with a magnetic sense of timing, picking up just the right ideas at the right time and then applying new lessons with a joyful and effortless sense of je ne sais quoi.

3). Tiny Travels Light
Tiny has her bags packed by the door and travels light, always ready for fun and adventure. She only packs the most essential items, trusting that whatever else she might need will become available along the way. By traveling light and simplifying her life she is always poised to immediately spring into action. Tiny knows that by taking action, no matter how tiny, she can unlock the goal-achieving equivalent of desktop fusion, bending time forward and ushering in fantastic new futures. One tiny and inspired action in the right direction triggers a high-energy cascade of other tiny steps until entire mountains are moved into the sea before breakfast. We intuitively know that tiny actions can trigger avalanches, which is why we so often become mired in procrastination - our lives overloaded with all kinds of baggage and excuses. We know what that first tiny step in the right direction might really bring, so we literally and figuratively pile up mountains of stuff and excuses in front of the door marked “Change”. As Gandalf reminded Frodo, “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

Tiny though, is not the least bit afraid of the avalanches of change that she unleashes. In fact, she rides the avalanche of change like an extreme skier down the steepest mountainsides with sheer delight. Tiny always takes action and then is ready to travel as far and fast as the road will take her, fully energized and with the greatest of ease. Leaving all unnecessary baggage behind, Tiny travels light, laser-focused on her destination.

4). Tiny Listens with Bionic Ears
As she travels, Tiny listens with super powerful bionic ears to the constant stream of feedback, allowing her to course correct with ease. She not only listens to the feedback, but to what the data is actually saying. Tiny pores over the data and distills those slight whispers of success and failure that everyone else is too busy to hear. She listens to and organizes the massive internet tsunami of information and then laser focuses it on her crystal-clear vision of the future - tuning into just the right frequency and vibration. By dialing into exactly the right frequency, Tiny can make powerful connections at the crossroads of divergent ideas, and uncover just the essential gems of critical insight. Ear to the ground and eyes fixed on her hi-res dreams, Tiny flies effortlessly across often dark and chaotic skies, listening with her bionic ears to a stream of constant and powerful feedback.

5). Tiny Changes Like a Chameleon
Smart sees trouble coming in the middle of the game, and calls a different play. Tiny sees trouble coming and makes up an entirely new play on the fly that no one has ever seen before. Smart is good, but Tiny is enormously and sublimely adaptable. Because Tiny requires so little energy, she can pivot all day long in response to whatever unfolds. Rather than stumbling upon success - a kind of dumb luck, Tiny makes her own smart luck everywhere she goes. Kaizen, the Japanese mantra of continuous improvement may seem onerous at first – until it’s seen through the eyes of Tiny who makes continuous improvement completely playful and light. Tiny knows that the biggest room in the house is the room for improvement.

Savvy chameleon, bender of time, unquenchable phoenix and mighty transformer of worlds - at just the right moment Tiny raises her hands ever so slightly and sends iridescent sparks of change and spontaneity flying into even the darkest and most hopeless of situations, leaving the competition wondering what just happened, while seamlessly progressing from one gigantic accomplishment to the next.

6). Tiny Surprises Like a Magician
Tiny is so small that when she delivers disproportionate results we are completely caught off guard. Not only are her results more than we can imagine, but Tiny delivers in ways we could never dream of in a million years. When we tap on the right tiny levers, the world turns out to be infinitely more malleable than it appears. Never tell yourself "this tiny thing can't possibly make a difference". You literally have no basis for accurately making that assertion! Remember that our capacity for understanding the interconnections of this world are incredibly limited and narrow. So, if at any moment in time, Tiny is whispering to you to step out of your routine and do some tiny good or inspired new thing, then heed the call, because Tiny is probably getting ready to unleash some incredibly big and time-warping surprises.

Tiny is not always logical or predictable. She surprises with a slight gesture. A kind word. A playful diversion. A tiny hesitation before hitting the soaring beautiful note. A barely perceptible lean to the right before cutting left down the field 80 yards to score the winning touchdown. Tiny makes magical counter-intuitive moves happen so fast that hardly anyone notices them, but they are real and powerful, and they often create the difference between winning and losing, greatness and mediocrity, vast fortunes and eking out a living, a loving relationship or a lonely one. To become a master magician of tiny surprises, open your eyes and notice the tiny subtleness all around. It’s a virtuous circle - the more you appreciate the inherent subtleness and magic of Tiny, the subtler and more magical you will become, and the more she will shower you with vast and surprising results.

In fact, Tiny has an invisible plane full of fantastic surprises ready to be delivered at supersonic speed. To place your order, you just need to start Thinking Tiny! Never underestimate the magical surprises that only Tiny can deliver.

7). Tiny Feels Like a Movie Star
When we see glamorous movie stars lounging by the pool, we naturally think of money and fame, but Tiny knows that money and fame are just the by-product of countless tiny and relaxing steps taken along the journey. To become the movie star of your own fantastic future, you must start by feeling like the movie star of your dreams and goals. The more you build the feeling of playful rest, riches and relaxation into your life, the more quickly that your goals and dreams will unfold. Tiny doesn’t just visualize her destination in all its glorious detail, she intensely imagines the feeling of what it will be like to arrive there – how it will actually feel to reach her goals and then peacefully lounge around the pool while reflecting back on her success. For Tiny, Think and Grow Rich provides crystal clarity for moving forward, but "Feel and Grow Rich" is her secret power source for quickly and easily realizing next level results and dreams. Changing your feelings takes absolutely no capital, no time and requires no outside approval - just a tiny bit of decisive energy and self-control!

Even more importantly, in an information driven economy, with just a simple change in feeling, Tiny can flip the economic vortex inside-out faster than light speed, sending income, wealth, and all other kinds of success streaming towards her in an instant. Just one tiny seemingly “illogical” idea, one new image, one new and exciting feeling while you’re resting and relaxing can instantly create more wealth than years of trudging to the office with bad feelings loaded in your bag.

Tiny is low weight, requires no storage costs, is easily reproduced, and when linked to high energy feelings - yields awesome results in terms of wealth, productivity, love and every other measure of success. Each day, Tiny harnesses her seven super powers to unlock incredible levels of output and creativity: 
She starts her morning by reviewing her vivid hi-res dreams, and then begins taking action like a sprinter out of the blocks, traveling faster than lightspeed into the accelerated learning instant-genius-now. With no baggage holding her back she is able to take one tiny action after another at a leisurely yet breath-taking rate. Unleashing her super bionic listening skills, Tiny can tune to the perfect frequency and chart just the right course of action in the midst of tremendous change, and then adapt and surprise in ways that are truly magical. By the time the afternoon has rolled around, Tiny has already accomplished so much that she lounges by the pool, playing and relaxing like a movie star.

As she rests, Tiny reflects on her goals and follows the glowing golden thread of her most inspired feelings. Before she knows it, another cascade of tiny actions is unleashed, spilling over into the evening hours. Before bed, Tiny once again watches her hi-res dreams unfold and intensely feels what it will be like once they are realized. She drifts off to sleep, knowing that her subconscious mind is happily getting ready for a tomorrow filled with even more tiny surprises of all kinds!
