Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped,
by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was
that they could, at any time, break free,
strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the
for this.
He said, “When they were very young we used the
size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can
hold them, so they never try.”
Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you
once before? Do you often tell
“I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?
These are
of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re
for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have
as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which
you. The cool thing is that because you create the
you can choose to change it! Here is how:
First,
it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your
, your subconsciousness will make this
by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online
help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are
.
This is such a simple process that you can
it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life
at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.
