A
man 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 their bonds but for some reason,
they did not
He saw a trainer
nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get
away.“Well,” trainer 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.”
The
man 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?We
believe we cannot as society tells us we cannot..And that becomes our Limiting belief!!!!
The
Mighty Elephant here represents our Mind.The
Bondages represent our limiting beliefs.Our
Mind if it decides can breakthrough any limiting beliefs.Just
like how the mighty elephant can break the rope and free itself out
You
are only limited by the beliefs in your mind
