" The Elephant Rope"

The Elephant Rope

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly 

stopped, confused by the fact that these huge 

creatures were being held by only a small rope tied 

to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious 

that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from 

their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals 

just stood there and made no attempt to get away. 

“Well,” trainer 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 are conditioned to believe they cannot 

break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, 

so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any 

time break free from their bonds but because they 

believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where 

they were.


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?

 

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up 

the struggle in life.
