First of all, nothing is impossible

Save for rainy days
Always smile when the boss is around
While walking passed the elephants my friend suddenly stopped and clearly confused that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front legs. There were no chains nor were there cages. It was obvious that the elephants could at anytime break away from the ropes easily. But for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these magnificent creatures just stood there and made no attempt to get away.”Well,” he 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 become conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them so they never try to break free.”
My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds yet because they believed they could not they were imprisoned by their own beliefs.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once before?
“YOUR ATTEMPT MAY FAIL BUT NEVER FAIL TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT.”
