Here is a brief excerpt:

If you think about it, we are all like elephants.  We all have incredible power inside us.  And we have our own chains and pegs—the self-limiting thoughts and beliefs that hold us back.  Sometimes it’s a childhood experience or an old failure.  Sometimes it’s something we were told when we were younger.  The key thing to realize is this: we need to learn from the past, but also to be willing to change our assumptions—our perspective—about the way things are now.  Life is not static.  You can break free.
