There's a wonderful excerpt i'd like to share. i read this in a novel written by Paulo Coelho. one of my favorites!
here it is, the author recalls.....
" Once an animal trainer had told him how he was able to keep his elephants under control. The animals , as infants, were bound by chains to a log. they would try to escape, but could not. They tried throughout their entire infancy, but the log was stronger than they were.
So they became accustomed to captivity. And when they were huge and strong, all the trainer had to do was place the chain around one of their legs and anchor it anywhere- even to a twig- and they would not attempt to escape.
They were prisoners of their past."
i found this quite true and esoteric!
yes,
It happens that difficulties much stronger than us engulf and tie us down at times.
The law of Universe is that time and man grow, but problems don't....
Being tied to difficulties and misfortune, after a while we grow somewhat equal to that problem. And continue to grow further. Then we become taller and stronger to those hurdles....
That, is the point when all we need to do is realize....
realize that the problem is much tinier now. that the chains that circled our necks and tied us down have already been snapped off by our overgrown nerves....
And ready are we! to kick off the hurdles sideways and leap ahead . Ahead to grow further! :)
