Stop Thinking Tiny Thoughts  
The British statesman Benjamin Disraeli once said, “Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never 
go any higher than you think.” His words are profound. And his point of wisdom is clear: it is not what you are 
that is holding you back in life. It’s what you think you’re not. It is what is going on in your inner world that is 
preventing you from having all that you want. And the moment you fully understand this insight and set about 
riding your mind of all its limiting thoughts, you will see almost immediate improvements in your personal 
circumstances. 
In my motivational seminars, I tell my audiences, “if you are not pursuing your dreams, you are fueling 
your limitations,” My brother, an internationally known eye surgeon, once told me about a medical condition 
called amblyopia, a condition that occurs when a patch is placed over a young child’s healthy eye. When the 
patch is removed, the child has completely lost the sight of that one good eye. Covering the eye stunts its 
development and causes blindness. Many of us suffer from our own form of amblyopia. Many of us suffer from 
our won form of amblyopia. We go through life with blinders over our eyes, afraid to dream bigger dreams and 
do the things we fear. The result is always the same: like the child with amblyopia, we eventually lose our 
vision and spend the rest of our days within a very limited zone of movement. 
Too many people lead small lives. Too many of us die at twenty and are buried at eighty. Remember, 
nothing can stop a person who refuses to be stopped. Most people don’t really fail, they simply give up trying. 
And most of the limitations that hold you back from your dreams are self – imposed. So shed the shackles of 
“tiny thinking,” have the bravery to dream big for a change and accept that failure is not an option for you. As 
Seneca observed, “It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they 
are difficult.”
