Never Let Failure hold you back

Are we so afraid to fail that we do not even want to try? Have we conditioned ourselves to believe that we can’t do it? That, it is not possible? Today I will tell you a story that I read in the thoughtcatalog.com

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 any time, 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.

So what does this teach you? Believe in yourself. If you think you can’t do something, then you are training your mind to believe that you cannot, and hence you do not succeed. Not failing isn’t important, what matters is whether you get up or not after you fail. Do not give up when you slip and don’t let fear of failure from the past hold you back in the future.
It took me a lot of time to understand that there is nothing You cannot achieve if you believe in yourself. Do you agree that believing in yourself increases your potentiality? Drop in your comments.
