Invisible Ropes which hold you back

Invisible Ropes which hold you back

Once a man visited to a Zoo. He was amazed to see all types of animals. There he saw some elephants. It was first time he could see the elephants closely. He got little confused to see the elephants tied with rope. He had a question in this mind that how such a huge and powerful animal tried with a rope which can be easily broken. He approached to a person who was looking after the elephants. He asked the person “Can’t the elephants break the ropes they are tied to. The person smiles and takes the visitor to elephant’s camp. There were many young elephants which were tired with same ropes. 

The visitor gets more confused. The care taker of elephants starts telling him how they catch and train elephants. He tells that when they catch any young elephant they tie him with the rope that the young elephant cannot break. The young elephant doesn’t have enough strength to break it. After numerous attempts the poor elephant starts believing that it can never break the rope. After getting his ideal shape and power the elephant is unable to break the rope because it is conditioned to do so.

The care taker explains that once they are conditioned to believe that they cannot, they don’t. The elephants keep tried with the ropes whole life. We work to condition their minds. We don’t work to condition their bodies. Conditions are very powerful to shape their lives.

Moral of the story is very meaningful and deep. We humans are tied with invisible chains and ropes. Since childhood we are conditioned to believe what we can or we cannot. These invisible chains are more dangerous. We are slaves to belief system. We can break any chain and rope. We can rise above the adversities. Today is the day to recondition your mind. You believe that you can do. Surely someday you will do it. Don’t give negative affirmations to your spouse, children, friends and co-workers. Try to spread positivity around you.
