Mental Block

Have you ever seen a giant elephant in a circus aren atied to a wooden post? Most of us are like this hapless creature. It can pick up 1000 kilos with its trunk, yet it calmly stays tied. ever wondered why? When the elephant was just a baby, and not very strong, it was tied with a huge chain to an iron rod that could not be moved. regardless of how hard it tried, it could not break the chain and run free. After a while it just gave up. Later when it became strong,it never attempted to break free. The imprint is permanent. "I can't! I can't!" it tells itself. there are millions of us who behave like a circus elephant. they have been bounded, tied and told "you'll never make it", so many times they actually believe they can't. they may have dreams, but the 'imprinting' keeps pulling them back. Resolve to remove the mental shackels and see what you can acieve.
