IT'S 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 rope tied to their legs. 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 site 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. The powerful and

gigantic creature has limited its present abilities by the limitation of

lts past.

like the elephant how many of us go through life holding onto a

belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it

once before? How many of us refuse to attempt something new and

challenging because of our so called MINDSET?

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt....

&

CHOOSE not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past…
