Sometimes our experiences limit us...

A few months ago I read a wonderful story shared by a colleague which was a fable conveying how we often limit ourselves based on our past experiences and our mindset. It was about elephants tied by a thin string which they can easily break but they won't, because they were tied by similar string since their childhood to hold them from running away. On a similar theme, I found an interesting blog - It's all how you look at it

Amazing thought, isn't it?

I used to have a poster in my home that had an image of Swami Vivekanand with this message

All power is within you.
You can do anything and everything.
Believe in that.

It is easy to accept our limitations and stay confined within them, creating a comfort zone which will eventually define our pseudo-potential, but if challenge these limits we may achieve the unachievable.
