Failure is part of learning

As a man was passing the elephants, he 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.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer 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 cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The man 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?
Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

    A very good lesson here... we shouldn't let our failure once hold us back from becoming who we should be... we shouldn't allow our fear to consume us and fill our minds with hopelessness... we might be conditioned to believe that what we have now is normal and that it's the only thing that's is acceptable, thing is we limit our opportunities when we limit our mind... it's not the normal nor the usual things that would mke us fLy high... it's our ability to break that walls that limit us... comfort zOne is safe ... but it won't make us grOw.... spreading our wings for the first time and falling hard doesn't mke us a failure, it's our fear that to tke risk that will cause us to faiL
