#4: “When a baby elephant in India is being trained, its leg is tied to a post with a strong rope. No matter how hard and how long the baby elephant pulls, there is no budging the post. The elephant ultimately comes to associate the rope with an all-powerful, immovable force. When the elephant becomes a twelve-foot tall adult, simply placing a rope around its leg causes it to stay put because it has already resigned itself to the all-powerfulness of the rope. Even though the adult elephant has the strength to break any rope or uproot nearly any post, the belief of limitation it acquired from past programming in its youth keeps the elephant immobile and docile.” This chapter discusses ideas related to self-concept and self-efficacy. By self-efficacy, we mean the belief that we can achieve our goals. Are you, like the elephant, still tethered to some outdated concept of who you are and what you are able to accomplish or do you have a good sense of self-efficacy?
