Is the door even locked?

There’s an insightful story written about Harry Houdini claiming to be able to break out of any jail cell, until this one particular time, the lock had him stumped. After hours of effort and even breaking a profuse sweat, he defeatedly collapsed against the door – and it swung open. It had never been locked in the first place.

But it was definitely locked in his mind.

Where in your life have you decided that “the door was locked” – that you couldn’t do something?

Where have you put limits on what you can do? 

Have you allowed other people or even the media to influence your self imposed limitations?

I think about this story as it relates to the current “pandemic” and wonder how many people have trapped themselves over the past year?

Our minds are extremely powerful and what we believe to be true, is true.

Perhaps it’s time to turn the handle and see if it’s even locked?
