A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp...

and he spotted that the elephants weren't being kept in cages or held by the use of chains..

all that was holding them back from escaping the camp

was a little piece of rope tied to one of their legs...

The gentleman was really confused....
After all... elephants are so strong that they could rip off the trunk of a tree if they wanted to...
There was no way a little piece of rope tied to one of their legs could stop them from escaping...

The man continued to gaze upon the elephants.... and he was completely confused...
Elephants are so strong that they could have easily used their strength to break the rope and escape the camp....
But none of the elephants even attempted to try.....
The man was curious and eager to know why....
So he spotted a nearby elephant trainer and asked what was going on....

"Trainer.... why don't these elephants escape... they are just standing there..... there is no way a little piece of rope could stop them."

The trainer replied... "You see....when they're very young and far smaller...
we used an equivalent size rope to tie them...
and at that age... the rope is enough to hold them...
No matter how hard they try to escape... And As they get older .. they're conditioned to believe that they still can't break free....
They believe the rope can still hold them...
So ... they never attempt to break away....
You see.... The only reason that the elephants weren't breaking free and escaping from the camp was that over time...

they adopted the belief... that it just wasn't possible....
Now...What is the moral of this story?
You see...in life.... we are just like these elephants....
At one point in our lives, we all had big dreams...… and felt like nothing could hold us back....
But every time we tried to accomplish our goals in life.... we could not break through the ropes of our life holding us back...…
We kept trying and trying …. and keep failing and failing....
And over time... we just give up.... and adopt the belief that
"It is just not possible..."
But the ironic thing is that you see... over time.... we also grow strong....
So strong... that little ropes that held us back once in the past.... and all the past failures that once defined us....
can no longer stop us....
We can easily break through the ropes holding us back....
But we don't even attempt to try....
We stay stuck....
Living a life of mediocrity.....
When we have the potential to do great things in life....and accomplish extraordinary goals
If someone from the outside saw us.... they would wonder.... "why is he or she choosing to stay stuck in their life... when they have so much potential that they can easily break free.
After all if you were the man in the story, and you saw the elephants being held back by a small piece of rope and not choosing to escape... wouldn't you think the elephants were foolish too?
In life, We all have limiting beliefs within ourselves that hold us back....
We all have experienced past failures.... disappointments.... heartbreaks....
But over time....
Just as the grown elephants can easily break that little rope tied to them that they could not when they were a child...
We all have the strength to break free from the ropes that keep us trapped in our current conditions in life....
Despite the failures of our past that prevented us from moving forward....
Just because we failed once... doesn't mean we always will...
All we need to do is to keep trying....
So let me ask you a question...
Why don't you?
