Are challenges stumbling blocks?
I read some where that most of us are like circus giant elephants. A giant elephant tied by a rope to a iron or wooden plank , remains calm without trying to break free. Why does it not break free or even try to break free? The reason is from the time it was a baby it was tied up and could not break inspite of trying hard and has accepted "I cannot" . This thought of "I cannot" is so strong in its mind, it is not able to come out of it even after it grew to become a giant elephant. "I can't! I can't!' is what it thinks and stays where it is.
Aren't we like this ? Never trying to come out of challenges thinking we cannot. Are we ready to come out of our limitations? Is it possible to convert challenges to achievements?
We should know about Jessica Cox to understand this better.

Today Jessica is a motivational speaker and is effective as a motivational speaker because she has lived the challenge herself which makes it easier for her to inspire others.
