Don't be a Circus Elephant - Become Your Own Mind Master
Monday, 26 October 2009
Author: Bruce Mind
Few days ago I wrote about reasons that prevent you from even giving a try to achieve. I encouraged you to investigate those reasons to see they're not as big as you thought. But not only yourself fool you!
Do you think it's you who decides what your capabilities are, what's good for you, what foods to eat, drinks to drink, business to start or what clothes to wear? We're being fooled by whole society and especially some huge companies. We're being fooled even by our parents, friends and teachers. How's that possible?

You probably think I'm insane 'what the hell are you talking about? My parents and friends? They would never...' Think so? They were brainwashed so hard that they're brainwashing you without even knowing. What a nice helping hand all of us are giving to companies, which might also been brainwashed, don't you think so? If you don't yet, take a moment to read this:
- 'You won't be a millionaire, only lucky ones are'
'You must work like a horse to earn money'
'Learning is difficult, but you must...'
'Don't even try starting business, it's not for you/you are too young'
'You're too stupid to learn this'
'Milk and meat is necessary to stay alive'
'Big money is not for your nose'
'Quitting smoking/losing weight is difficult'
'Internet business is difficult' and so on...
Does that sound familiar? Isn't it your parents, friends or teachers who told you such lies? You don't need this crap. Just forget it!
To better understand how all those talks influence our attitude, mindset and whole life, read this short illustrating story. One guy wrote it and I cannot not show this to you too.
Have you heard the fact that circus elephants can be kept from running away just by tying a tiny string around its leg to the smallest stake in the ground? Six tons (or ~13000 pounds) animal can easily go through forest tearing up the roots of grown-up trees. So why doesn't it just break the rope or pull out that tiny stake?
Fact is adult elephant doesn't even try. It was tied to the same string when it was just a baby. It was too weak to run away then and after many failures it stopped trying. Though it's now fully grown, poor animal still doesn't try.
Elephants don't try to run away because of a false idea they can't do that. How many false ideas have people implemented into your head? How many stopping beliefs as those stakes do you have in your life? Someone tell us lies everyday and we take it as the truth, stop harming yourself.
I once though losing weight is difficult, internet marketing, website creation, making money, and even reading books is difficult. How stupid I was! Change your mindset. That's the only thing I did. Identify and remove your false beliefs. Although some beliefs are very deep inside us, I'll give a simple technique that should help.
How to change rooted in beliefs?
I ask once again, what ill mindset did society implement to you? What beliefs hold you back from achieving success, money or whatever you wish? What is keeping you from even trying?
- 'Do you think you're too old or too young?'
- 'Do you think there's no opportunity left for you?'
- 'Is there too much competition for you?'
- 'Do you think you don't have necessary education?'
- 'Do you think quitting smoking or losing weight is difficult?'
Identify your holding beliefs first. It shouldn't be a difficult task. You meet your false beliefs every time you hesitate to start doing something.
Here's a simple step-by-step technique to help your self change mindset and change limiting beliefs into inspiring ones:
1. Talk to your self logically;
2. Visualize your new habit or belief;
3. Use presuppositions;
4. Live fully with it;
5. See your future having this new belief positively.
I'll explain everything in detail so you can start using it as soon as possible.
Firstly talk to yourself. It seems to me self-talk is getting in top place to any self help. Pick one of your holding beliefs. Let's say "Making money online is impossible to me". You should evaluate the reality of this belief.
Just logically talk to your self 'Is making money really impossible to all people?' what do you think? Is it? Many people live from it. 'Maybe it's even easy for some' many people earns thousands and much more online. 'Do I have enough knowledge to dive into internet business' well no, not yet. I've know [someone] learned everything he needs in few months.
Now you should start doubting your false belief. Say to your self 'it's pretty easy to earn money online, I'll just learn some new things'. Visualize your earnings. Imagine your self getting money as clear as possible. Visualize your bank account growing, your full pockets. Imagine money is everywhere and they're just easily flowing into your wallet!
Repeat this everyday for few minutes. Just try feeling the whole money of the world is under your feet! Do it with your bad belief.
Now you should use presuppositions to implement new belief even deeper. So why did you think earning online was difficult? Talk to yourself in opposite way. Find as much positive ideas as possible. Such would be 'Why is it so easy to learn how to earn online?', 'Why money comes so easily?', 'Why didn't I start online business earlier, it's so easy and fun to make?' Just repeat opposite questions as soon as you start doubting in your abilities not to achieve.
Live with it. Let these new beliefs be a part of your life. Discuss with your friends, colleagues, why it is so easy to earn money. Hang out with same minded people. Don't listen to anyone saying your project or anything else is impossible, most of them probably are just envious of you taking action. Tell others, how easy it is to earn money, tell them how brainwashing works. Listen to inspiring music, watch inspiring movies, do stuff that inspires! You'll be so lifted after understanding that everything you had considered impossible is within your reach.
Finally, imagine your life with your new belief. Imagine it in details: how will your world change? How will you behave in situations having this new belief? How will it change your near and far future? What will this belief make of you? Visualize.
Simply said, open your eyes! I've opened mine after reading "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. Allen Carr is also a great 'eye opener'. His books "Easy way to lose weight', 'Easy way to quit smoking' and others are all about how our brain has been washed.
How Allen Carr presents meat, milk and chocolate as a desire of brainwashed people.
His book totally changed my mind about food. I've lost 30 pounds (11 kilos) in a month. Sounds incredible? How did his book forced me to such 'loss'?
He explained how we all are being brainwashed. Most says 'Loosing weight is difficult'. And that is the reason why it is difficult. We take it as the truth and live with it. Not only this myth was denied. Why do you think we eat meat and drink milk? Because it is necessary to our bodies? No, it's because huge money is rolled in companies' bank accounts. There are much more useful minerals in vegetables and especially fruits. Even doctors are brainwashed about meat and milk...
Meat consumes more energy than creates. That's why we always feel sleepy after 'good' steak. Meat stays in our stomachs and rotting there for hours, while fruits go directly to our guts and converts into energy.
Milk becomes slimy substance in our guts, it is not being digested. Milk is good for babies (mother milk, not cow milk), not for grown-ups, but most doctors speak with one voice - there are so many useful minerals while in fact it contains nothing useful after heat-treatment...
And chocolate... Did you ever taste pure cocoa? It's disgusting without tons of sugar. Do you still think you are not brainwashed? Probably I'll write more about food some day...
Conclusion
Think again and think logically. You'll be so happy after understanding that our needs, our limitations and other false ideas have been implemented into our heads by other people. This might take some time to understand, but I promise, if you'll break these tiny holding ropes, the sweetest freedom will be waiting for you.

You have written a very nice article. You really "sold" me the idea of limited beliefes and how you can change it(even though I know that already).
I agree on you fully as I am using some of techniques you are mentioning here. And let me tell you... they work as a charm!
By the way, I look forward to your posts about food ;) Keep up with the good work, you are on good path ;)
