Your real straitjacket is not the
predicament you are in.
Your real straitjacket is the behavior
and the actions that got you into the predicament you are in.
The predicament of bad health….
the predicament of broken relationships…
the predicament of being in a corner…
the predicament of being at a dead end
with no visible options…
the predicament of being in the same place of dissatisfaction, you were in, 5 years
ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago.
Your real straitjacket is your repetitive and pointless thought-processes.
Your real straitjacket is the improper
use of your time.
Your real straitjacket is the misuse, and under-utilization of your intelligence, your abilities, and your skills.
Your real straitjacket is your lack of
respect for the laws of nature, or the laws of justice, or the laws of
commonsense.
Your real straitjacket is the lack of
attentiveness to what matters most in relationships.
Your real straitjacket is the misuse of
your body and your mind.
Your real straitjacket is the misuse and abuse of
all the blessings in your life – the blessings of money, the blessings of opportunities, the blessings of second chances, even the very fact you are blessed with the gift of
life at this moment – when babies are stillborn, when young children are
lost to unfortunate illnesses and accidents.
Your real straitjacket is thinking you
are stuck, and you cannot think and act your way out of your current situation.
You can think and act your way out of any situation.
Break the ball and chain.
You do not need to be handcuffed to
fear, indecision, and bad choices.
You do not need to be handcuffed to
anger, and lack of emotional control.
You do not need to be handcuffed to destructive
elements and forces.
Freedom is yours for the asking.
Freedom is yours for the taking.
Freedom is just waking up to the truth - and understanding there is another way to think, another way to behave, another way to respond,
another way to use your mind, your body, and your time.
Before you go to bed tonight, say to
yourself, I will wake up to the truth tomorrow.
Say to yourself – I will wake up a
different person.
Say to yourself – I will wake up with
the strength and resolution to defeat the dark forces in my life.
Say to yourself – I will wake up to
different choices.
Say to yourself – I will stop being a
curse to people in my life.
Say to yourself – I will start being a
blessing, and only a blessing, to all the people in my life.
The clock keeps ticking away...
Tonight
is the night you should tell yourself “I will break the ball and chain tomorrow and start living a radically new life.”

A hard-hitting and brilliantly analytical post, Minoo, to snap us out of the cocoon of negativity; transformation through a process of self-analysis and self-correction into achieving an optimal life path!You've outdone yourself again!
