A Fact: When elephants are very young and being trained they are tied to an object that they can’t pull away from like a large tree. They try hard to get away at first. By the time they are adults these giant creatures that could take down a house can be tied to a tiny stake and won’t move from that spot. Literally, if a fire is coming, they will burn alive where they stand.

Humans are no different. We are taught our limitations early and then live our lives based on that belief system. Our beliefs form our reality, not the other way around. If “I can’t do this because x” is my mantra then it is real. It’s a powerful realization that the only thing holding me back is me. It has virtually nothing to do with the outside forces that I perceive to be standing in my way.
