If you are quick to take offense, then you'll be under
the control of those who you find offensive. If you are
easily angered, then your actions will be dictated by
those who anger you.
If you are obsessed by what other people think, then
you will be imprisoned by their thoughts. If you yearn
for easy answers and quick solutions, you'll fall prey
to people who offer you nothing but promises.
If you find the truth too difficult to bear, you'll be
enslaved to those who tell you what you want to hear.
When you have the courage to think for yourself, the
strength to accept what is, the commitment and
discipline to make a difference, then you experience
freedom.
You have true freedom to live with purpose, joy and
fulfillment. Let your life be defined, not by reactions
to what others do, say, or think but rather your own
unique vision. Raise your eyes above the pettiness and
follow the path of the greatness that is within you.
