Its Called Mindset!!!
As my friend 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. My friend 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." My friend 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?
