Story On Mindset

It's Called Mindset

As I was passing the elephants, I 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 the ropes

they were tied to but for some reason, they did not.

I saw a trainer near by 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 are conditioned to believe they cannot break

away. They believe 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 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?

it's true indeed, many of us, are conditioned in such a way, that we hold onto our stereotypical beliefs, assuming them to be true for our entire life.
but only if we get the courage to break free from those beliefs, then can move forward.

It is true that our old mindset that sticked to the old way of doing things limits our capacity to think differently for testing new record heights with quontum leap performances.
