| Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, I want to share a story to remind you how powerful your beliefs are—both in holding you back and in setting you free.
Once upon a time, a man visited an elephant enclosure. He noticed something strange: a massive, powerful elephant was tied down with only a thin rope around its leg. Confused, he asked the trainer why the elephant didn’t break free.
“When it was young,” the trainer explained, “we used this same rope. We tied it to a pole and then to the elephant’s leg. At that age, the rope was strong enough to hold the elephant. As it grew, it never tried to break free because it believed the rope was still too strong.”
The truth is, the elephant could easily snap the rope. But its belief—rooted in the past—kept it bound. |
