Did u noe that elephants are the strongest land mammals in the world? They are so powerful that a male elephant can lift a 500kg tree log with his trunk,and even pull a tree down.
So how do elephant keepers secure this super strong animal from running away? all they do is use a rope or chain to tie the elephant's leg to stake in the ground . The moment the elephant's les is tied to the stake,the elephant will not run away.
DO you think the elephant has the POTENTIAL to break the rope? Of course, it has the strength to even pull a tree down! However, the elephant does not attempt to break the rope and escape because it believes it cannot do so.
Why? The reason is that when the elephant is young,its keeper put him through a brainwashing program. They tie the leg of the baby elephant to the stick in the ground.Because it is still a baby, it doesn't have the strength to break the rope , no matter how hard it pulls.
After hours of tugging, it gets cuts and bruises in its leg.After hours of frustration and the pain of 'trying' ,the elephant eventually gets to a point when it gives up, and believes that it is impossible to break the rope.
Years late,even though the elephant has grown to become ten times bigger and much stronger , it will not even attempt to pull the rope or chain and escape from freedom. The elephants has been trapped by its own beliefs
As strange as this sounds, the same thing happens to most people.Many people have the potential to achieve the success they want.However ,their negative beliefs stop them from even attempting .Before they do anything,their brain tells them:'you can't do it!''you are sure to fail' So they don't even attempt to take any action.Most never realise even one-third of their potential.
