A very inspiring story I'd like to share, which tells a lot about our mindset about certain things and at times we just don't try to overcome from situation , coz we hve a mindset that we are not capable enough of doing it.
Perhaps I could retype the passage again."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 ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they didnt. 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're 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 they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. The powerful and gigantic creature has limited its present abilities by limitations of its past.
Like elephants, 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 refude to attempt something new and challenging cuz 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.
May be this is what separate a succesful from failure ?
