You are about to hear a strange but true story
Legend has it Harry Houdini the master magician
once claimed that he could break out of any jail cell in the world all
He had to do
Was walk into that jail cell
with his street clothes on
I'll be out of there in one hour. No problem. He said

Your mind it is the most powerful force you will ever face

You're not good enough for that. You can't go on anymore. You don't have the energy you
Must thank it for its opinion and carry on
Because like Houdini showed us
The only lock doors that exist are
In your own mind
the doors and reality are
