All your limits are self-imposed! You can refuse to accept this fact as true, or you can use it to rescue you. There is just no way that you can work your way into a reality of prosperity when your imagination dwells on scarcity. Even fleas can be taught to believe in limits that dwarf their potential. A flea circus is simply a bunch of fleas in a shoebox that are conditioned to jump low.

  1. Borrow some fleas from your dog and place them in a shoebox.
  2. Place a piece of glass over the top of the box, and wait. You’ll hear a slight ‘tick, tick, tick,’ but soon it will stop. The fleas no longer bump their heads against the glass top because they have been conditioned to jump lower.
  3. Remove the glass top and you have a colony of fleas jumping below their potential. They no longer attempt to jump out of the box!

You are not a flea. Stop living your life in a flea circus and jump out of the box.

You are only shipwrecked on a desert island when you imagine a threatening world of scarcity. It is crucial that your imagination supports you, if you intend to create a prosperous future to live into. “To thine own self be true;” dare to imagine great things and life will unfold marvelously for you.

Your physical world is always a consequence of the kinds of thoughts that fascinate you. Why be fascinated with the mud when you can be fascinated with the stars?
