There is a prison that has an inmate population in the billions. It’s a prison without walls, without barbed wire, without guards, and any physical barrier. But it is the most effective prison in the whole world. Few escape it, but those who do find real and lasting freedom.
That prison is in our minds. It is a prison that holds back our initiative, our talent, our ability to express ourselves and, most of all; it holds back the fulfillment of our full potential as human beings.
That prison is fear. Our lives today are controlled by fear more than we know. Fear controls the choices we make, our actions, our habits, and even our destinies. Fear has become one of the greatest threats to humanity in this day in its many forms. Terrorism has become the pinnacle of concern worldwide. Recent events in the world have shown how fear can drive even those that are powerful to behave desperately and inhumanely. But the effect of fear on our personal lives is more damaging than any terrorist can ever hope to achieve. Fear of life prevents most of us from living.
Fear of life? Yes. “Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.”
Those born to become successful will do that at any age. Anna Vital has put together amazing graphics to show us an example of successful companies. Just remember, always keep being yourself and work hard on your ideas, despite what you are doing today.
You are all you can be. Go on and be it.
