Are you a small person or a big person?

No, no, I’m not talking about your *size* I’m talking about your role in the lives of others!

Big People:

1. Empower you
2. Inspire you
3. Encourage you
4. Allow you to grow
5. Push you to grow
6. Help you achieve your goals
7. Enrich your life with positivity
8. Get excited for you
9. Believe in you

Small People:

1. Judge you
2. Convince you “it isn’t possible”
3. Remain stagnant
4. Can be “toxic” in relationships
5. Drain your energy

Notice the list for BIG People is much larger than the list for small people. Why do you think that is?

What are you doing or not doing for your friends, family, classmates, or co-workers? Chances are that all of us could step up our game quite a bit.

Can you think of some other things to add to either list? Please leave a comment below with your thoughts!

Absolutely, man. And being “big” is reciprocal as those people you effect will share their love back to you. You can probably at “Negative” to the small people list!

PS: Nice dance moves. The transitions were smooth!

Thanks Avram for asking the question.

I definitely have both small and big moments. I’d like to say I’m only big, but I know better.

To add to the small list:
Gossip & aren’t honest to your face.
Manipulate where Big people collaborate
Lie (which only hurts them in the long run)
Despise success of others

To add to the Big list:
Love you for you, like in this moment, not who you were or are becoming, but who you are now.
Entertain you when your down to shift your focus to a lighter subject
Send you Tye-dye in the mail!! Thank you!
Say Thank You.
Send you referrals.
Remind you when you start to get small again cuz they know your better than that.

I love your Wednesday Writing idea… I’d encourage you to give one call to action for comments, otherwise your raving fans might write long long answers & maybe get confused =) Love what your doing. ~Marcelle

The big people in my life have taught me how to create and modify my road map.
The big people simply believe in me.
The big people RESPECT me.
The big people use drill down tactics to figure out “whats the problem”?

conversely

The little people are the nae sayers.
The little people, have no drive
The little people blame others.
The little people cannot or will not take action to better the situation.
The little people accept the problem, and don’t look for a creative solution.

i fear that i live in my head too much and that makes me little. over analyzing, judging, assumptions and the fact that i blame it on being human makes me even smaller. i know that although i live in the flesh, i am a spiritual being. that which makes me big, grows in the spirit and that which makes me small, shadows all that i believe in and is of the flesh.

i feel like having fear makes me little as well… if i’m small, lots of things can hurt me.. which causes that fear i have to grow… and makes me smaller and smaller… and smaller.

i know a lot of big people… you are one of them. you inspire me.

i strive to be like them.

i want to make a difference, to be remembered, to leave something beautiful behind after i’m gone.

WOW!! This list has gotten QUITE comprehensive. I’m going to add my 2 cents and say that big people love you for who YOU ARE and can always be relied on to LISTEN to your issues, give you AWESOME solutions (basically, they pick you up when you’re down).
Theresa Robinson

BIG people:
Dream with you
Laugh with you
Love with you
Cry with you
Hold you up when you’re feeling down
See the BEST in you, even when you can’t see it in yourself
Are able to say “I’m sorry” with all sincerity
Are able to forgive and forget
Have open minds
Don’t always have to be “right”
Respect the differing opinions of others
Will give someone in need their last dollar
Smile, smile, smile!

Big people say that you look cute in your bandana and purple hat. Which you do. I was gonna add but a lot of people commented before me. So thats what I got. Keep up the good shit Avey Baby

Haha this is so excellent! This is exactly what I was hoping for!

Thank you for your input, I am so happy to have so many BIG PEOPLE in this life!

I really do get where you are going here, and I love the core idea of it, but:

Small People:

1. Judge you

Is that not what we are doing on this thread? Judging others as Big or Small?
I see us all as equally small and equally big on every possible plane. We all have the capabilities to act out of love. We are all able to act out of an absence of love. I call that fear. Some simply are not ready in their growth to see there is a loving way. Their behaviors and decisions thus far have brought them to where we are. Perhaps rather than labeling, we can rise up higher than we are today and create a safe and loving space for others to grow with us.
A person of higher awareness can understand the place of the path of persons of lower awareness, because they have been there, learned that lesson and moved on. A person of lower awareness is not yet ready to understand those of higher awareness.

I invite us to keep the full attention of our awareness on the Higher Truth within all beings. What we focus on expands. Let’s focus only on their greatness.

Great thought, and I couldn’t agree more with what you said John.

I’m glad you brought it up because that is the reason I posed the question in regards to the size of both lists. “Why do you think it is this way?”

Number one reason… because I believe more energy and focus should be on BIG PEOPLE and helping everyone become bigger.

We’re all big. I must admit personally, that at this stage in my life I use labels a lot.

I can find many examples in my life where I could have used an approach of love and acceptance rather than my current *strategy* of excluding the toxic people in my life. This is a phase. One that I wish to grow from.
John Harris

Our society relies heavily on labels. Naming things is a big part of how we communicate. In my life, I look for a balance in using them. If the label is the only way to communicate something, I am likely to use it. If I can catch myself in using judgement then I look for another way. If I don’t catch it until after I express the judgement, then I make note, forgive myself and move on. While I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience, I don’t expect myself to release all human-ness at the drop of a hat. I am bound to miss my own expectations of myself. And that’s OK with me.

Big People help other people get what they want, after all the more people help others get what they want then their own needs and wants will be taken care of ! Share someone else’s dreams and if you can make it happen for them then DO IT ! Take the focus of yourself and put it on someone else and you will be rewarded in the end anyway !

From one “Inspirer” to Another,

Be blessed !

Following InspirACTION and watching Avram’s enthusiasm for life is contagious. He has empowered me, inspired me, encouraged me, allowed me to grow, pushed me to grow, helped me to work on achieving my goals, enriched my life in a positive way, got excited for me, believed in me, and even forgiven me. Now that’s a top ten list for “Mr. Big”.

Thank you Avram.

small people believe the need authority in their lifes..to know what to wear, how to act, what to feel/do..what music is hot..must have, must listen to..they look and act very common.they are your average beauty, hunk, cool guy and hot girl..

big people try to find out for themselfs..not much sheep-behaviour, they tend to be dropouts, they do not fit a catagory that is set up by the ‘authorities’ so they are not be regognised..exept by…

It’s pretty simple, you want to surround yourself with the Big People in the world and stay away from the small people. Big People enrich your life; small people drain you. ROCK on, Av!

I will stay in the Big People category as the small people are just the opposite and big is more fun.

Positive, passionate, personable, focused, dynamic, charitable, forward thinkers, goal oriented, action takers, dreamers, enablers, enthusiastic, excited, inspired, inspiring, committed, communicators, generous….
