Be Free

If you are quick to take offence,

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.

But 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 are free.

You are truly free

to live with purpose,

joy and fulfilment.

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.
