You want to build something big.
You want to live with freedom.
You want impact.
You want wealth.
You want clarity.
You want momentum.
But there is one big block standing in your way.
You are thinking small.
I know that feeling well.
Because for years... I did the same thing.
I used to wake up full of ideas.
Then I would talk myself out of them.
βToo risky.β βToo much work.β βToo big for me.β βWhat if I fail.β
And just like that.. my dreams looked far away.
My goals felt heavy.
My actions stayed tiny.
Small thinking made my world small.
But then something shifted.
It happened on a morning when I was tired of my own excuses.
I sat down on my coach.
Took a deep breath.
And spoke my first morning affirmation out loud.
βI think bold thoughts. I take bold actions. I live a bold life.β
Something changed in me that day.
A door opened in my mind.
It was the first time I realized that my future was not built by talent.
It was built by thoughts.
So today, I want to show you how to think big even when your world feels small.
How to train your brain for massive wins.
And how to break the patterns that are holding you back.
Letβs go deep.
Letβs get raw.
Letβs make this practical.
I. Why Small Thinking Blocks Big Success
Most entrepreneurs do not fail because they lack skills.
They fail because they think too small.
Small thinking creates small goals.
Small goals create small actions.
Small actions create small results.
And soon.. you start believing you are only capable of βsmall.β
Here are the signs you might be stuck in small thinking.
1. You overestimate the risk and underestimate yourself.
You think the danger is bigger than your ability.
You imagine problems that donβt exist.
You create fear around steps that would actually help you grow.
2. You expect failure more than success.
Your brain tries to protect you.
So it shows you the worst outcome first.
And you start avoiding the very thing you need to do.
3. You only take action when you feel ready.
Readiness is a trap.
Action creates readiness.
Not the other way around.
4. You choose comfort over progress.
Comfort feels safe.
But comfort is also a cage.
A soft cage... but still a cage.
5. You aim for realistic.
Realistic goals are just excuses in a nice outfit.
Big thinkers aim for extraordinary.. not realistic.
Once you understand the traps.. you can break them.
And that is where the real growth happens.
II. My Morning Routine That Broke My Small Thinking
I want to share something personal with you.
Each morning.. before checking emails, before planning my day..
I sit down.. breathe deeply.. and speak my affirmations out loud.
I call them my MindLeader Affirmations.
Here are the ones that changed my life.
βI think in big pictures.β
βI choose bold ideas and bold action.β
βI focus my energy on what brings results.β
βI am building a life of abundance.β
βI create success with clarity and courage.β
βI lead myself before I lead others.β
I speak them slowly. Clearly. Powerfully.
Because the mind listens when the voice is strong.
The first week I did this.. nothing dramatic happened.
I just felt more aware.
But after two weeks, I noticed I was making decisions faster.
Taking action without overthinking.
Saying yes to bigger ideas.
After a month.. my goals doubled in size.
My confidence grew.
My business actions became sharper.
My mind no longer accepted small thinking as an option.
Your mind is like a muscle.
If you train it with weak thoughts, it gets weak.
If you train it with bold thoughts, it becomes powerful.
Your affirmations shape your identity.
And your identity shapes your future.
III. The Science Behind Thinking Big
You donβt need a long science lesson.
So let me make it simple.
Your brain has a filter called the Reticular Activating System (RAS).
This filter decides what you notice, what you ignore, and what you believe is possible.
Small thoughts shrink your filter.
Big thoughts expand it.
When you think small, your brain finds small opportunities.
Small ideas. Small paths.
When you think big, your brain starts searching for bigger possibilities.
New solutions. New connections. New ideas.
Your filter controls everything.
This is why some people see opportunity everywhere... and others only see problems.
It all comes from the size of the thought that enters the filter.
IV. How To Train Your Brain To Think Bigger
Let me give you simple steps you can use today.
These are easy, practical, and beginner friendly.
1. Expand your environment.
Follow people who think bigger than you.
Read books from leaders who built enormous things.
Join rooms where you feel like the smallest person.
Your environment pushes you... or it limits you.
2. Use the 10X question.
Each morning ask yourself.
βWhat would this look like if it was 10 times bigger.β
Ask it for your business.
Ask it for your health.
Ask it for your income.
Ask it for your network.
Ask it for your goals.
10X thinking opens doors you didnβt even know existed.
3. Upgrade your identity.
You cannot think big with a small identity.
You need to see yourself as a person capable of greatness.
Identity drives behavior.
Behavior drives results.
Results create momentum.
So start shifting how you speak to yourself!
4. Take one brave action daily.
A big life is built on small bold actions.
Just one brave action per day.
Make the call.
Start the thing.
Record the video.
Send the message.
Ask for the deal.
Courage grows when you use it!
5. Build emotional strength.
Emotions guide your thoughts.
Strong emotions can shrink your thinking.
Calm emotions can expand it.
Practice stillness.
Practice breathwork.
Practice grounding.
A calm mind sees big ideas clearly.
