Ron BaratonoConstant thoughts of money, possession, and control are a personal prison. Thoughts of God, family, and happiness are freedom.
About This Quote
The first step to freedom from the prisons of your personal life is to realize that those things that hold you there are not real. They are merely thoughts that can be made real by your own thoughts. In this way, the greatest prison of all is created by your own mind. It is a place where you can be as happy or as miserable as you choose. The person who realizes this will have an easier time escaping the prison of his personal life, and instead will have a closer relationship with God and a greater desire to serve others.
