The Importance of Seeing Yourself as a Giant
Graduate school in Psychology often presents us with new challenges and perspectives. One of our professors would start every class by quoting a verse from the Bible: "And there we saw the giants and we were in our own sights as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sights as grasshoppers too." The purpose of this quote was to remind us that "grasshopper mode" is something that happens to everyone. We all see the giants in our field and often think of ourselves as grasshoppers.
The truth is that everyone, even the giants in their fields, such as Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Freud, or Carl Jung, were grasshoppers at one time or another. And, more importantly, we are all grasshoppers when compared to someone else who has more experience or expertise. The good news is that we are also all giants in our own right.
When you see yourself as a grasshopper, you essentially teach others how they should see you. You give off a "vibe" that tells people that you see yourself as small and insignificant, and others will follow suit. On the other hand, if you see yourself as important and on the verge of success, that's how the world will see you too.
Becoming a giant from a grasshopper is not an easy task. But, it's possible with dedication and effort. Successful people, such as the giants in their respective fields, experience fear and doubt and mindset issues, just like you do. The difference is that they have taken the time to learn how to manage their fears, so that they can show up as giants. They realize that to do more in this world starts with being more. They have a duty to never play small, and they are committed to showing up in every moment of every day, doing whatever is necessary to get the work done.
At The Awakened Man Project, we believe that only you can decide whether you want to continue playing small and remain a grasshopper or whether you will stop making excuses, do the work, and step into being the giant that you are capable of being. We understand that success starts with a change in mindset, and that's where we come in. Our mission is to help men awaken their true potential and become the best version of themselves.
