Swap Burning Out For a Fire Within
The Elephant in the Room
Now, I want to tell you a story….
Once upon a time, a man was walking through a field and came across an elephant camp, as he looked upon these elephants, he became AWARE that the elephants were not being kept in cages, or held by the use of chains.
All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope, tied
to one of their legs. As the man gazed upon the elephants, he become very confused,
as to why these big powerful elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope
and escape the camp? They could have easily done so, but instead they didn’t even try.
He suddenly became very curious and wanted to know the answer.
So the man asked a trainer near by.
” Excuse me sir, why are the elephants just standing there and not trying to escape? Don’t they know that can just break the rope”?
The trainer replied….
“When they are very young and much smaller, we use the same rope size to tie them up and at that age, it’s enough to hold them in place. They struggle and struggle to break free, but then they realize it’s not possible.”
As they grow up, they are conditioned to BELIEVE that they cannot break free from the rope. They BELIEVE, the rope can still hold them in place.”
As they grow up, they are conditioned to BELIEVE that they cannot break free from the rope. They BELIEVE, the rope can still hold them in place.”
As the man walked away, he looked look back at the elephants with compassion in his eyes, and a tear rolled down his cheek. “If only they knew how powerful they really are! They could be free. If only they chose to BELIEVE something different and let go of what they think they know and were shown when they were young, then they would escape the camp.
Makes you think about your own beliefs doesn’t it.
God Bless

The man was amazed and stood there and thought to himself. “These creatures could NOW at any time break free from their old beliefs, and the only reason that they don’t escape from the camp, is because, they’ve adopted the BELIEF, that it’s just not possible.”
