Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, ___21___ by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front legs. It was ___22___ that they could, at any time, break free, __23__ strangely enough, they didn’t .I asked a trainer the __24____for this.
He said, “When they were very young, we used the ___25____ size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can ___26____ hold them, so they never try.”
Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you __27___ once before? Do you often tell ___28___“I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”? These are __29____ of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re ___30___ for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have ___31___ as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which ___32___ you. The cool thing is that because you create the __33___ you can choose to change it! Here is how:
First, 34_ it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your 35_ , your subconsciousness will make this __36____ by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online ___37___ help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are __38____.
This is such a simple process that you can __39____ it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life __40____ in a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.
