The Circus Act

No matter what the industry, we are ALL in the circus business. The question we should be asking ourselves is "what role are we playing in the circus business?" Are we Ringmasters? Are we tightrope walkers? Are we the clowns? Or are we simply sad and lonely circus elephants, bound by chains that we could easily destroy if we only recognized our true strength and potential?

Like a young circus elephant, we often find ourselves chained to pathetic circumstances that have surrounded us for most of our professional lives. When an elephant is brought to the circus as a baby, it begins life being chained to a stake in the ground or attached to a nearby post. While baby elephants are big as far as baby animals go, they are still no match for cold, hard, steel chains. After crying, pulling and struggling with all of its might for days, weeks and even months, the elephant begins to come to terms with the desperate situation. And, since an elephant never forgets, for the rest of its life, it will continue to find itself held back by those chains. Although the chains are well within its power to break, a baby elephant reaches adulthood, immobilized. It is not because the chain is stronger than the elephant, but because the elephant's mental conditioning is stronger than its need for freedom.

A majority of readers probably relate to those poor circus elephants. Despite our great inner strength we still find ourselves chained down to the same posts that have been holding us back all of our lives. We have a powerful potential to dream, possessing our own unique strengths and amazing talents. But, what if we could finally find freedom? What if all it took was a simple paradigm shift that could transform our Circus Act Prison into a Three Ring Success? You possess the willpower to relinquish your role as the suppressed circus elephant in exchange for the dashing, top hat-wearing Ringmaster with a million-dollar smile. Begin your transformation and the power to make it happen by embracing the concepts discussed in this book.
