Positive Thought for the Day

Thoughts, have you ever wondered the kind of magic that the thought process
can do for a person? Just to illustrate its power, i am depicting the following example.

Have you ever noticed this? To me it was very much surprising initially,
to see that elephants were tied by using a rope.


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 their bonds 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 can't
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?
Its just all about the Mindset.
If you think you can,
DEFINITELY YOU CAN.
Start now and achieve your goals...All the best!!!
