Imagine being locked-up in solitary confinement from the age
of 26 and for the rest of your life!
Well, that is exactly what happened to the notorious
prisoner known as the Bird Man of Alcatraz.
His real name was Robert Stroud. He was born in 1890 and died in prison when
he was age 73. He was first sentenced to
prison when he was 19 years old.
Interestingly, even living most of his life in permanent
solitary confinement Stroud created a form of freedom. While solitary confinement depressed him to
the point of attempting suicide several times, he also escaped the mental
isolation by pursuing his interest in birds.
He dedicated his mind to studying diseases of birds and
became an acclaimed expert on the topic.
If Robert Stroud could achieve some mental freedom even in
the face of permanent solitary confinement, so can you escape from your own mental
solitary confinement.
Too many of us build a jail cell around our potential in
life and, then, we're self-convinced we've thrown away the key. As a result,
we're confined for life in the prison of limited thinking.
The most solitary confinement jail cell in the entire world
is right between your ears. The horror of that confinement is it is so
eminently escapable and, yet, we remain chained to the wall of its dungeon.
It's dark, dank, depressing and the rats love us for being there because they
know, if they hang around long enough, we'll be their food.
Do you really want to become food for the rats in the world
that encourage your confinement?
Break out! Find the key and get the hell out of there before the rats do get you! The key?
Break out! Find the key and get the hell out of there before the rats do get you! The key?
Well, think about your escape this way. At the beginning of life, a butterfly
is confined to solitary confinement in their own jail cell...a cocoon.
What's a butterfly's key to their break out from the cocoon?
It's because they think they can and their desire to do so is greater than
their resistance to paying the price.
And, so it is for you!
If you want to escape from the prison of limited thinking in life, you must believe you can. You must create such a strong desire that you will push through any resistance to your goal.

Find your passion...the emotion...to escape into the full
potential of your life!
How are you going to create the passion
to break free and achieve all you can be, do or have?
