Amazingly It Is Called Mindset

A friend visited an Asian country and was totally amazed at what he saw ... this he eventually learnt was the process of taming elephant.

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 any time, 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 of 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.

This way, the elephants come to believe that the rope can still hold them (irrespective of their size as it did when they were smaller), 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?

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt.  CHOOSE not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past... because it is called mindset.
