As I passed by the elephants at the zoo, I was surprised to see that such large creatures as elephants were tied to their hind legs with a thin rope. No chain, no cage: it was obvious that the elephants could easily break free from the rope, but they did not do so.
I approached the trainer and asked how such a thin rope could hold such huge creatures. He replied: “When they were small, we had chained them.
They tried to break free, but their strength was not enough. They put up with it, and now the chains exist only in their memory.
Now they can easily break the chain, but they believe even in a cloth rope, for the same reason they do not even try to escape.”
Now they can easily break the chain, but they believe even in a cloth rope, for the same reason they do not even try to escape.”
It was simply amazing. These animals could have broken free from their chains at any moment, but because they believed that they could not, they did not even try to break free.
Like these elephants, many of us believe that we can't do or change anything just because we've failed before.
Free yourself from the shackles of the past and simply believe that YOU CAN.
