Others can stop you temporarily, but you are the only one who can do it permanently. Consider this: An elephant can easily pick up a one-ton load with its trunk. How is it then, that at the circus, these huge creatures stand quietly, tied to a small wooden stake? When the elephant was still young and not so strong, it was tied with a heavy chain to an immovable stake. It tried to break the chain, but soon discovered that no matter how hard the young elephant tried, it could not break free. As the elephant grew bigger and became stronger, it never again tried to break loose because the elephant thinks it is still an impossible feat. Many intelligent adults behave similar to the circus elephant. They remain restrained in thought and action all their lives. They never move farther than the boundaries of their self-imposed limitations.
