It differs from person to person, time to time &
circumstances – it is relative

Don’t get into Elephant mind set
Don’t Act Like An Elephant !Strange statement, isn’t it?
Don’t Act Like An Elephant !Strange statement, isn’t it?
LET ME EXPLAIN:
You know that in our country elephants are used for manual labor.
But what to do with them when they are not behaving? How to restrain them?
HOW DOES IT WORK?HOW DOES IT WORK?
When the elephants are still small, weighing around 150 pounds they get tied up with a very heavy rope.
All day long, the elephants try to get rid of it, whine, tug at it and some of them even try to chew it.
But they can’t break free.
When the elephants are still small, weighing around 150 pounds they get tied up with a very heavy rope.
All day long, the elephants try to get rid of it, whine, tug at it and some of them even try to chew it.
But they can’t break free.
Their handlers came up with the idea to “program” them while they are still very young by setting self-
imposed limits into their thinking.
From this moment on, they strongly believe that there is absolutely no chance to
get rid of the rope.
Finally the elephant gives up and the fight is
over.
They accept the “fact” that the rope limits them. And with this imprinted belief in place, their handlers are able to tie them with extremely small ropes, even as adults weighing 8,000 pounds and more, they never attempt to break free, because they “know” they have no chance at all!
As you can see, the elephants limits are
not real but exist only in their mind.

We also have built-in boundaries.We also have built-in boundaries.
If you truly want to become successful and are not kidding yourself, you can change your inner belief system, your attitude, and break your inner boundaries.
They are also not real but exist only in our minds. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. Our negative belief
systems don’t have to limit us for good.

stages

usually the one who has never done anything
