I was watching a circus video not too long ago, a gigantic elephant was chained-up, carrying passengers around in a circle over and over again. In my mind, I thought about how easily the strength of the elephant could break lose, out of those chains, and it could literally kill everybody around it, but it didn’t? Why? Ever since it was little, it first tried to break free from the chains, unfortunately it was too young and weak. It tried and tried everyday while being brainwashed and abused by it’s trainer until one day, it finally gave up. Mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted, it accepted a place called home that is located in between rusty shackles connected to chains. Even until now, it’s all grown-up, bigger and stronger, the elephant’s mindset is still the same. "I can never leave, I live here for so long, I am comfortable in hell because it has always been a place where I called home regardless that I am unhappy.“
A lot of talented people in this world are actually capable of achieving greatness but why can’t they see it? They will never find their true potentials because in their minds, they have this invisible chain that says they can not be anymore than who they are. Allowing fear to guide their destiny, while being brainwash by the medias and hanging around abusive-toxic people just like the elephant’s trainer. At some part in your life, you may be young and weak but not forever. The only limits you have within your mind are chained to laziness, insecurity, fear, anxiety, etc. If you don’t start to shift the way you "think” in a different direction, forever you will be locked within these invisible chains and never will you find true happiness. We all have talents, passions, blessed with gifts, and I truly believe that when we use it, we are creating a purpose to live. Have you ever heard of anyone being sad by using their talent? Of course not! You are at your most happiest stage when using your talents. You might be surprise that you have more hidden gifts than you think, after all it’s the same thinking that stops you from discovering those gifts.
