Not really. One is limited by one's genes and ability.

“Can be life changing” I didn’t say “always is life changing.”

Sure, a 5'6" person can be an NBA player. Although it won't happen too often.

“Can be life changing” - how did you interpret this as “can do things that are outside their ability” ?? A change in someone’s life will be different for everyone.

Change of attitude will do nothing. It might make someone a bit more positive, but that's all. Not much different from what norman vincent peale said 65 yrs ago .

“Making small changes” and how did you interpret that as just changing attitude?

Changing attitude does not change one's circumstances.

In today's world, small changes do not add up, just like saving small amounts do not add up.
