IT'S CALLED MINDSET

 

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly
stopped, confused by the fact that these huge
creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to
their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious
that the elephants could, at anytime, break away
from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason,
they did not. Man saw a trainer nearby and
asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just
stood there and made no attempt to get away.
"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much
smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at
that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up,
they are conditioned to believe they cannot break
away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so
they never try to break free." Man was amazed.
These animals could at any time break free from their
bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they
were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life
hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something,
simply because we failed at it once before? So make
an attempt to grow further.... Why shouldn't we try it
again?
Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an
attempt
&
CHOOSE not to accept the false boundaries and
limitations created by the past...
