January 18

I have never been contained except that I made the prison.

Mari Evans

When you concern yourself with doing only what others "think" you can do, you lay the floor of your prison.  When you conform your activities based on what others might say, you put the bars around your prison.  When you allow what others have done or are doing to determine what you can do, you build the roof or your prison.  When you allow fear, competition or greed to guide your actions, you lock yourself up and throw away the key.  It is our concern over what others say, do and think about us that imprisons our mind, body and spirit.

 

-- Iyanla Vanzant

What other people think about me is not my concern.
