Make no little plans! That’s the rallying cry we’re diving into today, inspired by the words of architect Daniel Burnham, who played a pivotal role in shaping Chicago. We explore how big plans have the power to stir our spirits, ignite our ambitions, and pull us forward even through the toughest days. Little plans, on the other hand, just don’t cut it—they lack the magic to inspire and motivate us. We'll reflect on the importance of dreaming big, even if those dreams aren’t always practical or quick to achieve. So, what’s the size of your plans? Let’s get into it!

Takeaways:

1. We should never underestimate the power of big plans to inspire and motivate us.
2. Little plans may not stir our passions or drive us to achieve greater things.
3. Big plans can outlive us and create a lasting impact beyond our lifetimes.
4. The challenge is to dream big, even when practicality suggests we shouldn't.
