It's Called The Mindset



As i was passing by the elephants,I suddenly stopped,confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held only by 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. i saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there n made no attempt to get away???
"Well", he said, "wen they r very young n much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at that age,its enough to hold them. as they grow up,they r conditioned to believe they can't break away. they believe that the rope can still hold them,so they never try to break free." I was amazed. these animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believe they couldn't they r stuck right where they r!!! the powerful creature has limited its abilities by the limitations of its past.
like the elephants,how many of us go through life holding on to 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 bcz 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....
