The world can enslave our body but, most times, it cannot incarcerate the
mind. If this were not true, many people who were imprisoned for long
periods of time would never have survived their ordeal. So often we hear
stories of how their imagination took flight and transported them to a better
place and time – and that is what sustained them.
The enslavement of your mind robs you of spiritual growth and hope. You
are the master of what you think. You have the authority to grant permission
for your mind to be free. If things are difficult for you now, imagine and
believe that this difficulty too shall pass. Hope is the springboard to freedom
and the key to a healthy mind.
