Do you know why a ten ton elephant can be kept from wandering by a stake only strong enough to prevent a baby elephant of 300 pounds for going where he will?
The elephants memory. That is what. When he is a baby and tries to pull away from the stake that is strong to prevent his going anywhere he soon learns he cannot pull the stake out of the ground.
Persistently, over and over again he tries, but to no avail.
And one day he gives up and never tries again.
Thus when he is grown and could rip the stake from the ground with no more than a twitch of his muscles he is restrained from any forward progress because he has been taught to believe it is impossible.
So it is with some people.
Someone told them when they were young that they had no talent or had no brains or were just no good. And they were told that time and time again until they came to believe it…and now in their adult years they no longer try and have not tried for years…they are beaten down from the beginning…
So if you were told that one day by someone, whatever negative thought it was…ignore it and go out and prove those somebodies wrong…
And oh yes…parents…if this is what you are doing to your child…filling them with negative thoughts…cease and desist…and instead give them growth tablets…positive thoughts…shouts ‘YOU CAN…YOU CAN. . YOU CAN…”
(growth) Romans 8:5
Live in such a manner you can live with yourself and find it pleasure instead of pain. Make some path a little brighter, some load a little lighter for a stranger or a friend.
(growth) Romans 8:5
Pray each day a prayer worth praying, and live one moment each day so fine it would be worth living again.
Romans 8:5
Accept with fortitude your days of dismay and move with faith toward better tomorrows.
